More of a Woman...

In the year since I posted my video "Women born Women", about a pharmacy in Canada with a Cisgender-Women-Only policy, I have been bombarded by hateful and mean spirited comments and messages from women who take offense to the video.

I wanted to take a moment to re-examine my position on my fight and struggle to be recognized as a woman, and exactly what that means to me.

Girl you don't have to prove nothing to the world. Your happiness is the only thing important here. F... what people say. Don't let them make videos in your head that your not a woman. You are what you know you are. Don't let society stop you from reaching all your goals and dreams. People are jealous and cruel to trans people when they find out. That is why many who pass do is go back into the closet because of fear. Some people are not going to except you even if you were a cis woman. love you

Dude, you are not a woman.

@DianaBoston "Specific community factors..." Namely classism and racism, oh, and the tendency of British Columbian cisactivists to police the boundaries of class woman.

it really sucks that some ppl dont know about transwoman and say that surgeries doesnt make one a woman or something like that...it is not a choice and is really a pain to have to explain to ppl and wait to them to understand what we feel

im pre everything in transition but i hate this type of things like "transwoman will never be woman" and some trans really think that we will be never real woman

liked the video^^

...If you're going to fail at life, can you do so quietly and elsewhere? Bad troll. Shoo.

@TheJGsus you do not need to understand the concept of gender in order for your brain to identify as a man or a woman. Since gender is determined by the brain before birth and transsexuals have have female brains(at least the M2Fs do) that means she was a she even when she had a boys body and everyone was calling her a he incorrectly. What makes her a she has been with her since she was born, what makes her a she was not hormones or surgery, what makes her a she has always been there.
