I think a better way for feminists to think of transwomen is to think of them like the child of a Japanese couple living in Canada in the 1970s, who had a child while living there. At the time, the Canadian Government conferred Canadian citizenship on anyone born in Canada. If we take Australian Larissa Waters as an example, her parents were Australian, but she was born in Canada and had the citizenship conferred upon her. She was found to be a dual citizen. If that Japanese child was raised in Canada and wished to participate in the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program, they would have to relinquish their Japanese citizenship before they applied.

A transwoman may still like some manly pursuits, and a transwoman has the right to determine how they present as a woman, but transwomen do not transition to dominate in a patriarchal sense. We transition because we have felt wrong about being assigned male and want to live as our true selves.

Attacks on trans people are unacceptable, and I say, if a transwoman is the happiest she's ever been post-transition, what right has a government got to tell her that she cannot transition? None whatsoever!
