bottomsona:

Feeling Like a Woman is entirely based on the assumptions about what other women feel like in regards to their womanhood (which is expected to be the traditional image sold by the heteropatriarchy), and it often grossly overestimates how comfortable women are with and in their womanhood

womanhood is alienating! many of us feel a sort of “i guess im theoretically a women but i dont feel like one”, like there’s a barrier between you and the woman you’re supposed to be. there’s no single “correct” experience of womanhood and just because butch lesbians or trans women (and butch trans women especially) dont fit into your perception of what a woman “should be” doesn’t make either of them any less of a woman

and really, in a world where women are always being told what we’re not and what we should be, you’re gonna go and use the same practice that hurts all of us against your fellow women? for shame
