If you think trans people are the threat to women's rights, you're looking at the wrong target

Someone commented on my social media post saying I "deserved" to be misgendered because trans people are "destroying real women's rights."

In January 2025, Trump signed an executive order redefining "sex" under federal law to be strictly fixed and binary. A few weeks later, he signed another one targeting women's sports. That is where the legal erosion of what a woman is allowed to be came from. It came straight from the top of the administration. Signed and dated.

So who is the actual threat to women here?

Is it a trans woman holding a door open for you? Or is it a man caught on tape bragging about grabbing women by the genitals? A man whose name keeps popping up in the Epstein files? An administration packed with people who would happily strip women of their bodily autonomy the second it benefits them?

That's where the real danger is.

The LGBTQ+ community and the feminist movement have always been about freedom. We are far harder to beat when we stand together, which is exactly why bigots want us divided and terrified of each other.

Look at how they drive these wedges. Cis women against trans women. LGB against the TQI+. They want every group believing the real enemy is the person standing right next to them. Throw in an economy that leaves everyone exhausted and scrambling just to survive, and you have the perfect distraction. That's how rights get chipped away quietly, one regulation at a time, until you look up and realise how much has already been stolen.

Divided, distracted, and exhausted. That's exactly how they want us.

If you genuinely believe trans people are the ones coming for women's rights, you've been pointed at the wrong target on purpose. Look up. The people actually rewriting the rules are not marching in your corner.

We are strong when we stand together.
