What's truly sad is that there are many trans women who don't adhere to these language contortions. They acknowledge their unique status. Saying trans women are trans women is fine with them. Why can't their voices be heard? But no, they get cancelled, too.

The elephant in the room is pornography. The idea that women can be reduced to an appearance, a hyper-feminine performance, sexual submissiveness, and body parts comes directly from a porn-saturated culture, and all of these men are getting their ideas about women from porn consumption or the society it has shaped.

Whereas women and girls are seeking to escape objectification, such men see women as only objectification, an experience they can possess, not as humans in full ownership of our own female bodies.
