22. "in various stages of transgender transition"?

What is your evidence for declaring this about these women?

Your excuse for your antagonistic replies in this thread does not hold water.

For your information (and BTW, IMO you don't deserve an explanation but this last post with your 'these women are becoming men!!!' bullshit has had the desired effect of baiting me, well done) I have always found butch women beautiful. And I'm fucking sick of always seeing the same representation in the media, and the diversity of these beautiful women made me want to share these awesome pictures.

Thanks ever so much for shitting all over the thread with your quest to flamebait and re-ignite old hostilities.

And just FYI, your views on gender aren't shared by everyone, there are gender-critical trans women so maybe you should go attack them, many are very willing to engage in these issues with you, issues which you apparently see in black and white. Again I'm very curious why you labeled all these women as transgender.

Did you even bother to read the thing? These are butch women. They are lesbians. I didn't see any indication that any of them identify as straight trans men. I hope you have the integrity to at least answer one fucking question - provide your evidence for labeling these women that way. And yeah apparently you didn't bother to spend any time reading the piece you're freaking out about - I didn't make up the "gender is a trait" comment - its a fucking quote.

For you to come in here and decide they're all trans, and that I'm making some "bold move" by sharing these gorgeous pictures - words fail.

Thanks ever so much for your valued participation in this group. It's been enlightening.
