Transgender is a collective term for the phenomena of mismatch of gender identity or gender expression with biological sex; or differences of social status (gender) and biological status of people.
Transgender transition is the process of changing gender presentation and/or gender characteristics according to an inner sense of gender identity. So this issue means the idea of what it means to be a man or a woman, or to be non-binary or gender queer.
And now concerning the topic of this post. You may ask, what is the reason to pick up the transgender problem in a blog post abot women. Apparently, everyone remembers the situation that occurred in 2020 with the participation of the author of “Harry Potter” – Joanne Rowling, when she opposed the use of the phrase “people who have menstruation.” She has repeatedly supported the idea that a person’s gender corresponds to his genitals, even if the person does not identify himself in one way or another.
Now, on the eve of the release of the special issue of Harry Potter, which does not have an author, fans of the bestseller are divided into two camps. One of them does not support the author’s words, the other, on the contrary, supports and spreads this opinion, at the same time condemning the authors of the special issue.
Like most of you, I love the magical world of Hogwarts, but I do not support the author’s words at all. T*women = women.
We should be interested in the personality, not what genitals it has. Therefore, if a person identifies himself as a woman, a man, a non-binary person, or a gender queer, please respect that.
T*transition has several stages. One of the last and most difficult is the operation. Quite risky and expensive. Therefore, not every person goes for it. And this does not mean that T*women ≠ women. Respect each other’s feelings and emotions, respect each person’s identity. And as Daniel Radcliffe said: None of us knows enough to decide whether to call someone a woman or not.
