i don't care if a trans woman hasnt "done the work". i dont care if she doesnt shave. i dont care if she has short hair. i dont care if she has broad shoulders. i dont care if she has a flat chest. i dont care if she has flat hips. i dont care if she has a deep voice. i dont care if she wears "mens" clothing. she's a woman because she says she is. she doesn't have to "do the work". she doesnt have to do anything, actually. she's a woman regardless of how she looks, acts or sounds. she's a woman because she is one.
