I'm not wanting to replace anyone [View all]

I see this as a new attack word against trans women that we wanna replace women. Why on earth would I wanna do that? Ever since childhood I was more interested in feminine things and I was constantly dressing up and being dolled up. Obviously I knew back then and never wanted anything more than to live my life as a female. I got that and at the worst time to do that considering that just purely existing is now a crime in the eyes of some. No I don't wanna undermine everything women have done. I never had those intentions of trying to undermine anything women have done in the past century. But I see this as a way of delegitimizing trans women by getting those born as biological women fired up against the community. We are fighting the same fucking battle.
