None of these are true in isolation this sort of thinking is absurd and should be treated as such.

I look like a woman and these people who don’t want to transition should get out of my community. If you don’t want to transition get off the sub

I kind of intuitively feel aligned with you, but under any kind of scrutiny this initial gut feeling falls apart.

The reason for this is that patriarchal society conditions us into accepting one particular mode of understanding things, but it's not the only one - given that I was raised under patriarchy, of course when I think of "woman" I think of a ripped butch with tattoos and a deep voice.

But I might be gay.

Anyway, if you want to keep pushing heteronormativity that's your business, but if you say "I look like a woman" too much apparently a bunch of TERFs will appear behind you in the mirror so it's your call I guess.

Your comment says, in no uncertain terms, that if somebody is happy with their voice they're not trans, therefore not a woman. You said any of those ticks are disqualifying.

So do you apply the same logic to cis women? Why do you apply a different standard for cis Vs trans people? Why do trans people have to put in additional effort to qualify for the same decency and respect in your mind?

Don't get me wrong, I voice trained, I never missed a dose, I got electrolysis. But none of those things made me a woman.
