hi. First I love you and your wonderful
But I'm an idiot and I genuinely don't understand and I'm sorry and I really want to understand
It says on your profile your. Trans woman? Wouldn't that just make you a woman? Like. Wouldn't it be "I'm a woman and a mom" ???sorry!! I fully support trans so much I just don't understand why it's not 'im a man now or I'm a woman now or I'm nonbinary now.?!!!
I’m going to trust that you’re asking this in good faith and give you a sincere answer.
I do call myself a woman. If there was a room and they said: “women, raise your hands,” I would raise my hand. I am a woman.
“Trans” is an adjective, a modifier. I am a trans woman, just like I am a tall woman and I am a white woman and I am a middle-age woman. These are all features about me that affect my experience of womanhood.
Discovering and claiming my identity as a trans woman was a big turning point in my life that had profound effects on the art I make. So, I think that my transness is particularly useful context for understanding what I share here.
Plus, I’m proud of being trans. It took a lot of work to get here and I’m proud of it, and I’m proud to be a part of my community.
