Someone didn’t pay attention to the rules of the group, it seems.

Trans women are women, and thus when I fight for women’s rights, I am also fighting for the rights of trans women. I don’t know what it means to be a woman — I only know what it means for me. Being an effective feminist necessitates being open to the wide range of experiences that women that aren’t me have.

Trans men aren’t women, but their lived experience of being socialised as women means that they have valuable insights into womanhood and patriarchal oppression. They are also often still subject to patriarchal oppression, even if they are consistently read as male — e.g. requiring access to reproductive healthcare.

When I was younger, the version of feminism I learned about was a distinctly white feminism — a movement that black women and other women of colour had historically been excluded from. Anti-racist activism is distinct from feminism, but these movements don’t exist in isolation from each other. Intersectional solidarity makes our movement stronger.

What the sign is saying is that feminisim means equal rights for all women including trans women
