I need cis women to limit their use of the word "women" as much as possible tbh

When you make posts that use the word women/woman for people who experience misogony you're excluding all the trans and nonbinary people who experience misogony, you're telling us that to have access to feminism and activist communities that we have to label ourselves women even if we don't.

And then if you use the word women to talk about body functions such as menstruation you're also excluding trans women who don't experience those things.

Please find alternative language when you aren't referring to yourself or specific people because it's really tiring being misgendered because cis people won't think things through.

Every one who falls short of cis men experiences some level of gender discrimination based in misogony. Gender discrimination will never be simple enough to fit into a binary so you need to take that into account when you interact with gender related activism and justice.

(Cis people can reblog but no arguments please)
