When I Tweeted this yesterday, I was on the blob and feeling particularly womb-y. For clarity: I know trans women and women without wombs also feel just as scared. We're all scared, together. No hate of any women in my timeline, please xxxx

@Huttoneer @caitlinmoran I know, it's appalling. She's also comparing women who were born without wombs to men. Revolting.

@DelReneeXX @caitlinmoran It's such a weird weird thing to do - how does her mind work that she thinks of us in the same group?

@Huttoneer @caitlinmoran God I really don't get this refusal to call trans women women. Why is it that hard to respect what they want to be called and why are yall so mad. Why is it such a big deal to you

@preposterouslan @caitlinmoran I don't get your willingness to lie about something so fundamental in order to validate another person's identity. Why should I respect someone based purely on their identified status? What if someone identifies as a MAP ? - should I auto respect that too?

@Huttoneer @caitlinmoran It turns out that you don't need a womb to be a woman. In that way it is the same.

@Huttoneer @caitlinmoran I had a womb It was painful Removed now via my vagina It was painful I miss it My pelvis is painful Trans women are not like me Your logic is painful

@Huttoneer @caitlinmoran what kind of fucking name is deborah

@Huttoneer @caitlinmoran Well yes, what you have in common is that you identify as women and are identified as women by decent people.

@Huttoneer @Gillian_Philip @caitlinmoran Oh, hadn't you heard? Born females are now a mere subcategory of women. In part because of the White, privileged, able-bodied women who walk their dog and go back to their cozy little own private home to handle their "blob" in private say so.
