True. It IS a lie; first to the patient, as there is no actual changing of sex possible. Secondly, the rest of us are coerced into affirming that lie; of course you "pass". You're a beautiful "woman"! ("man!"). And the saddest part of this lie is the long-term results of taking cross-sex hormones and their effects on the body.

Brilliant speech, Meghan. I want to email it to my daughter, 28, who wrote a feminist thesis in law school but who now fights for men intent upon destroying women's right to speak and be heard. But we are estranged and she has practically ordered me to give her 'space'. So I won't - for now anyway. But one day I hope she will know that "This is not a feminist movement. This is not about inclusion or love. This is an anti-woman hate movement that is destroying kids lives and all of the sex-based rights countless women have fought for for well over a century." Thank you for fighting so eloquently and tirelessly for us all.

I am so sorry are estranged from your daughter and that she advocates for and protects trans identifying men. If that was the basis of your estrangement, she will come to regret her contribution to such a misogynistic movement. That will be a painful time for her. And she will most likely seek your forgiveness and love.
