There's also the added complication of trans women are women, but not in certain scenarios, eg sporting situations.I perfectly understand that and I've talked to loads of people like that. If they don't it out of malice, I'm kinda ok with it, especially if it's older folks who are stuck in their mindset.
But folks like J.K. know pretty well what the difference is, and use these confusing semantics to shit on transgender people and make life much harder for them.
Either way, the shit that trans people face is horrific and treating people with respect and kindness costs nothing. It's odd that billionaires like J.K. and Musk end up such sad people, trolling online.
