   One thing I really hate about this whole Nancy Mace shit is people who think they are being allies by saying transphobic shit. This is just lateral violence. When you say “Well Nancy Mace looks trans” you don’t hurt her you hurt trans women. You don’t fight transphobia by perpetuating it.

     Sarah McBride isn’t a woman because she has long hair or wears the right clothes or does her makeup the right way or because of the way her voice sounds or because she’s reached a certain level of attractiveness or because of any medical transition she may have undergone. She is a woman because she knows she is. Gatekeeping womanhood behind having a certain type of bodily appearance is flatly antifeminist.

     Also annoying is the like, “hey wouldn’t it be super funny to have a trans man out and endanger themselves by going into the women’s restroom”. I’m begging you to see trans people as people for one second please

     It is not supportive to say, “Well Sarah looks more like a real woman than Nancy”. All you do when you say that is hurt trans women who don’t pass and perpetuate the narrative that only women who fit a narrow white supremacist beauty standard are “real women”. This language and these stereotypes hurt all women, but they especially hurt the women you think you’re standing up for
