On these very forums, we’re not allowed to say we think trans women aren’t the same as actual women.
There’s no shame in mentioning this fact. I’m also not a right-winger. Good job proving my point that we’re either with you or against you and you’re trying to control what people think through censorship.
If we have rules against saying things like that which hurt some community members I think it’s okay for mods to remove them. If people want to say that sort of thing they can create their own instances and/or communities which those people negatively affected can avoid there would be nobody to remove them. That’s one of the beauties of Lemmy.
Also if somebody is really of that opinion then maybe they should rethink their definition of “actual women”.
I mean the statement just seems unnecessary and/or badly defined. A sub-category of a categorization is expected to fulfill the qualifications of the category it is a part of. Trans women are women, cis women are women. Both cis and trans women can be regular or irregular depending on how you define the term because there is no fixed definition.

They don’t have a definition of “actual women,” because every one they can give has to come with massive “exception to the rule” issues.
Anybody can say anything hurts them.
I’m hurt every time I see people say there’s no difference between trans women and regular women. Should mods remove those posts now?

🤦
I can’t help but notice that none of your posts have been removed. Maybe you want them to be?
