Mahima, this has been both educational and helpful. Like you, I had become wary of even discussing this issue, because- 1) I don't know enough, and 2) I am so afraid that I will offend someone. Please thank Chithra for being so generous and patient in sharing her story. And thank you to you too.
while I empathise with the struggles faced by trans people, there are real and nuanced issues with erasing biology and conflating transwoman (or any gender identity) with being a woman.
Thank you for this! We could all learn to be better and to do right by the queer folk.
This was enlightening
Mahima, I thought I knew enough being an ally but I still found it enlightening. I think this is a must-read for everyone. Thank you!
