Why do (trans)women who argue against the gender binary, arguing that people have the right to be who they are and defy the socially accepted standards for the gender binary then dress, behave, act, speak, etc. in public just like women, effectively reinforcing the gender binary?
Coming out as a (trans)woman and living as a woman isn't arguing against the gender binary, it's becoming one of them. And isn't that the goal anyway, to transition and become invisible in the world as a woman? So why say you're fighting against how you're living?
