I know this OT but it’s important, Idk much about Adichies views on trans people, but just pointing out here that trans women don’t “become” women, they have always been women. There are scientific studies that prove that trans people have the opposite brains to the gender they were assigned at birth. Of course they have different life experiences, but esp for trans women, they lose their previous male privilege sometimes as soon as they start to transition. Same with trans men, they gain male privilege when they start “passing” (a gross term bc trans ness isn’t defined by how you look but anyway) sorry for the Ot rant but I’m will defend trans people until the day I die, I’m cis but I’m a gay woman, and they face so much vitriol and given the fact that we owe the modern pride movement to black trans women I get very angry about these things
