@monaeltahawy argues we cannot consider all male people as a single class. Males who identify as women are different from "cis" men in an essential way.
This makes it "transphobic" to talk about male and female bodies, or about women as the people with female bodies.

I wonder if she really believes this.
The rest of her writing and activism is all about the injustices done to the people with female bodies in a world which denies them agency and which gives the people with male bodies more power. (AKA: patriarchy)

Back in 2011 on Twitter Mona complained when Dutch company HEMA advertised it's bras using a male model. She got the usual criticism that anyone who speaks up gets. She deleted the tweets and issued this clarification. 
That was Andrej Pejic, androgenous gender bending male model who was making a stir mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/m…
Andrej was making a niche for himself in the competitive world of fashion modelling by modelling womenswear.
He said he doesn't have a strong gender identity, likes to be beautiful "like girls do", doesn't consider himself male or female but leaves it open to artistic interpretation
Barnes and Noble got I trouble for "misgendering" Pejic as female
He joked about getting "sex change" surgery to model womens underwear ...
Roll on three years.
Andrej has had the surgery, and is now Andreja; lingerie model and actress
She says she is a "girl" and is female and always has been

So back in 2011 when Mona saw a male model being passed of as having a woman's body, according to what she now says she believes she was wrong.
Pejic was female then, her body was therefore a female body.

Just like a woman called Bruce Jenner won the men's decathlon in 1976.
And a woman called Karen White assaulted two women in a women's prison in the England.
And a woman called Jessica Yaniv sued a doxen women of colour in Canada who didn't want to wax her balls

If we see any similarity between these women & "cis white men" we are wrong. They are women & know more about being women than we ever will.
If you want to talk about that u are a bigot. And if u feel at all angry at women being equated w stereotypes (again) you are "deranged"

This is angry feminism lite packaged for a commercial market.
Just like Andrej's androgeny was packaged & Andreja became more successful
Andreja truly believes she is & always was female & Mona truly & always believed that
& if u don't say you believe there are consequences
