No two women have the same experience. All feminism is founded not on actual essential unity, but on political coalition and affirmation of shared political needs and goals.

Race, culture, class, birth assignment, religion, and countless other factors mean all women experience womanhood differently. Excluding trans women because we have a different life experience misses the point that all women have different life experiences. This idea isn’t even new, its not even specific to trans women, its literally the point Crenshaw and Collins and Mohanty and countless other woc and third world feminists have been making for decades now.

rwby s6e1 recap:

  • ilia is confirmed as a LESBIAN (not bi, not pan) so stop shipping her with men
  • black sun was not pummeled into the ground as violently as i would have hoped but it also wasn’t given any particular romantic foreshadowing imo
  • qrow’s semblance is mentioned again, although whether or not it actually had anything to do with the grim appearing is unclear, as they could have just been attracted to the relic
  • roman’s hat was in the theme?? and the fact that the figure holding/wearing it is invisible suggests the presence of neo, her illusions could probably provide invisibility
