This gives me pause.This is not the direction of my fight. Im not interested in seeing people with DSDs as the problem just because TRAs used them to try&assault women’s boundaries

Yes those with CAIS are genetically male.

They are also taken to be female at birth

Contrary to TRA assertion,women like me don’t want to karyotype people before giving them access to female spaces. CAIS is a special case. If youre born into a world that instantly sees you as female because of how you’ve developed you are at the same risk other girls are

Then,when you discover your medical condition and that you will never be pregnant you must have so much grief as a result. Discovering youre genetically male,contrary to the apparent external appearance&development of your own body must be a dissonance or difficulty for many

This is not the same as a boy being born,growing up as a boy, developing as a boy, going through male puberty,then turning round&saying he is like us and we should make room for him. Nothing about his life, from his socialisation to his biology, is complicated or requiring nuance

Especially given most such men have a male paraphilia to drive their transition.

I understand the argument of “not giving an inch”. But the people I’m not giving an inch to are the men who tell me we are the same while trying to redefine me as someone who exists to be penetrated
