Reposted by lconnonhayCN Lester 🏳️⚧️ @cnlester.bsky.social · 22h...but putting their handy little explanation that a trans woman is a 'biological male' who 'identifies' as a woman, and suddenly the reality of so many trans women's lives and healthcare needs - not to mention safety, privacy, and dignity - completely erased.
