"If they don’t want to ride with all women, that’s not the kind of ride I want to be on anyway,”
Yes! This is the solidarity that we love to see.
Being in community with trans folk (and especially trans women) has infinitely improved my ability to be comfortable in and even enjoy my own gender, as well as making me a better feminist.
Assholes on the right like to ask "what is a woman?", but the truth is that I don't know. I know that I am a woman, but I am just one data point and I don't feel equipped to answer such a general question. It's only through being open to other women's lived experiences that I can usefully build my idea of what it means to be a woman.
