Like I've been struggling greatly with this......and for part of today I felt absolutely heartbroken because I kept seeing "you may be a woman if..." and I kept wanting to echo or quote them.....but I kep

I kept stopping myself....I was stopping myself because I kept heating an old voice in the back of my head, "but you're not a woman. You're trans! Your a man pretending to be a woman!! You can piss in a jar and call it grandpa's moonshine, but that won't change it bein a jar of piss." Something that

Was repeated to me over and over and over. So for a long time today I kept being beaten down by ghosts of trauma past and I actually started to get upset feeling like the universe was throwing it in my face that I'm not as good as biological women and I'm not really a woman....but I'm trying to loo

Look at it different. Like I related to almost everything I saw that said, "you might be a woman if..." because all of that happened to me! My experiences are of a woman more or less! So I'm not any better or worse than a woman because I was a woman!!!! I'm crying now lol I love all of yall!!!

If you and your spouse do the same job for different firms, but you have more responsibility due to the size of the firm, but he makes 10 times as much. (Yes, that really happened to me)

I'm dealing with a similar situation, but with a coworker that just started as a case manager. He makes 10 bucks more than I do an hour. He isn't a LDAC and he has no experience in this field. Make it make sense to me!!

You're why the boss created Spoutible! You'll never have to be anything other than yourself here. We know, you ARE a woman. And if anyone shows up here and tries to tell you otherwise, they're going to be run out on a rail!!

We really need to do a forum of cis and trans women, i.e. WOMEN, to ask and answers questions and queries we might have....I work with a few trans and transitioning individuals....

You are 100% woman! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Stand in your power and know you have absolutely no reason to feel “othered” or as an imposter. You are loved for the strong woman you are❤️

Internalized misogyny and bigotry is a bitch. Tell that voice in your head to stuff it and come join in a huge online women's group hug right where you belong!

Ellie, my greatest wish is that you and every other woman didn't have to feel like you are any "less" of a woman for any reason at all. I can't seem to find the right words today, but I'm sending you virtual hugs and any and all support that I can. I'm grateful for you being here!

Ellie, you are a woman. I know nothing of your life, only what you present here and everything you present here is woman. I hear you've been struggling, and I feel empathy, because nobody should ever struggle to be who they are. You have so much to offer the world.

You identify as a woman, and are one. Part of the sisterhood, so tell that old voice to shut up. Welcome and big hugs.

You are just as much a woman as I am, as any of us are.
More than anyplace else online, I feel a real sense of sisterhood here, and you are a big part of why I feel this way. ❤️

Ellie you are a woman.
Our posts today include you, they do not exclude you.
Without misogyny, without the idea that no one would be a woman if they could "be" a "man," this pain you've shared would not exist.
You sit with us. You experience with us. You are "real."

I won’t speak for everyone else, though I’m sure the sentiment will be echoed (not necessarily literally) but you are right where you belong, with the other beautiful women venting and healing. Sending so much love. (And I’m not crying, I swear…)
