Let's turn this about. How would you react if we all of a sudden started calling you a man, something you know is untrue? How would you react when total strangers in the street refused to acknowledge your innermost identity? How would you feel when people started saying that you can't go somewhere because of who they believe you are, when their beliefs are patently ridiculous in the face of your knowledge and lived experience? How can you deny that such treatment is anything but oppressive?

You are consistently attempting to deny our lived reality and insert your opinions in its place. You are consistently asserting your right to define our lives for us. You are deliberately, repeatedly and condescendingly telling us that you know better, that you are the arbitrator of femininity, that you are right and we are wrong. Only a fool would say that this is not oppression.

Once again you say one thing and do the opposite.
