Bwah?

Personally, I am cool with lived-experience-specific rituals. I don't, however, think that it's useful to limit the participants in those rituals to people who have all had the same exact experience, though, at least when it comes to the cisgender/transgender issue. Basically: womens' circles are cool. Ciswomen becoming the arbiter of who is "woman enough" is totally uncool. A woman is a woman is a woman, the end.In terms of defining what a woman, I agree with you 100

Idk, the wording & tone just seemed like you. I figured you were the specific Maggie that wrote the comment.

Er...not criticize themselves so much as take in some of the critical feedback that has been raised, and apply it to their own understanding.

I get what you're saying.
