I hope this didn’t come across as something I personally believe! This statement was part of a section about TERF logic, ie, they consider cis women above trans women, and in order to maintain that status, they shame women (both cis and trans) who do not conform. I 100% do not believe that womanhood should be defined by stereotypical markers of femininity or that we should compete with each other in order to gain social capital. These are, unfortunately, facets of the patriarchal, heteronormative binary gender system that ‘gender critical’ people uphold.
