Last night I sat through a breakdown of a study of women voters where the speaker (who had a lot of really awesome insights, otherwise) kept referring to the set as "self-identified women."

Trans women are women, and to me those constructions always feel like a covert way of making our womanhood sound sketchy and inauthentic.
