They aren't sure what they are; if they are a woman or gender fluid or nonbinary. Either way they feel like a woman more than feeling like a man or anything in between. I know how distressing it is for them and I really emphasize with them. The problem is when I say something about what women go through, like say, sexual assault; they say men go through it too.
I don't know how to articulate just how it is for women. I want them to know what it is to be a woman since they seem to aline more with being a woman than anything else. And I know with being trans they are exposed to a whole new kind of discrimination on top of being a woman.
I just don't know how to address them about it. I feel really unheard when I say being a woman can be scary. That a man can decide violence if I reject them. That a man decided I don't have a right to safe abortion even in life threatening circumstances.
They really are not misogynistic and have never objectified me. They do chores and help me out with a lot of traditionally women roles in the household. They are kind and gentle with me, never laid a hand on me, and honestly treats me really well. I just wish I could help them understand better what it is like being a woman.

It's a long article so here's some highlights
“I'm glad we're speaking,” said Calvin. “Your personal information is linked to a case that we've been working on for a while now, and it's quite serious.”
He told me that 22 bank accounts, nine vehicles, and four properties were registered to my name. The bank accounts had wired more than $3 million overseas, mostly to Jamaica and Iraq. Did I know anything about this? “No,” I said. Did I know someone named Stella Suk-Yee Kwong? “I don't think so,” I said. He texted me a photo of her ID, which he claimed had been found in a car rented under my name that was abandoned on the southern border of Texas with blood and drugs in the trunk. A home in New Mexico affiliated with the car rental had subsequently been raided, he added, and authorities found more drugs, cash, and bank statements registered to my name and Social Security number. He texted me a drug-bust photo of bags of pills and money stacked on a table. He told me that there were warrants out for my arrest in Maryland and Texas and that I was being charged with cybercrimes, money laundering, and drug trafficking.
...
The next man who got on the line had a deeper voice and a slight British accent flecked with something I couldn't identify. He told me his name was Michael Sarano and that he worked for the CIA on cases involving the FTC. He gave me his badge number. “I'm going to need more than that,” I said. “I have no reason to believe that any of what you're saying is real.”
“I completely understand,” he said calmly. He told me to go to the FTC home page and look up the main phone number. “Now hang up the phone, and I will call you from that number right now.” I did as he said. The FTC number flashed on my screen, and I picked up. “How do I know you're not just spoofing this?” I asked.
“It's a government number,” he said, almost indignant. “It cannot be spoofed.” I wasn't sure if this was true and tried Googling it, but Michael was already onto his next point. He told me the call was being recorded, so I put him on speaker and began recording on my end, too. He wanted to know if I had told anyone what was going on.
I admitted that I had texted my husband. “You must reassure him that everything is fine,” Michael said. “In many cases like this, we have to investigate the spouse as well, and the less he knows, the less he is implicated. From now on, you have to follow protocol if you want us to help you.”
“I don't think I should lie to my husband,” I said, feeling stupid.
“You are being investigated for major federal crimes,” he said. “By keeping your husband out of this, you are protecting him.” He then repeated the point Calvin had made about my phone and computer being hacked and monitored by the criminals who had stolen my identity.
...
“If you talk to an attorney, I cannot help you anymore,” Michael said sternly. “You will be considered noncooperative. Your home will be raided, and your assets will be seized. You may be arrested. It's your choice.” This seemed ludicrous. I pictured officers tramping in, taking my laptop, going through our bookshelves, questioning our neighbors, scaring my son. It was a nonstarter.
“Can I just come to your office and sort this out in person?” I said. “It's getting late, and I need to take my son trick-or-treating soon.”
“My office is in Langley,” he said. “We don't have enough time. We need to act immediately. I'm going to talk you through the process. It's going to sound crazy, but we must follow protocol if we're going to catch the people behind this.”
...
When I got home, Michael told me to get a box, put the cash in it, take a picture of it, then tape it shut. I found a floral-printed shoe box that had once contained a pair of slippers I'd bought for myself — a frivolous purchase that now seemed mortifying. Michael told me to label it with my name, my case number, my address, a locker number he read to me, and my signature. Then he directed me to take another picture of the labeled box and text it to him.
“My colleague will be there soon. He is an undercover CIA agent, and he will secure the money for you,” he said. What exactly would that entail? I asked. “Tonight, we will close down your Social Security number, and you will lose access to your bank accounts,” he explained. “Tomorrow, you'll need to go to the Social Security office and get a new Social Security number. We'll secure this money for you in a government locker and hand-deliver a Treasury check for the same amount. You can cash the check and use it for your expenses until the investigation is over.”
“Why can't I just use this cash?” I asked. “Why do you have to take it and give me a check?”
“Because all of your assets under your current identity are part of the investigation,” he said. “You are being charged with money laundering. If we secure this cash and then issue you a government check under your new Social Security number, that will be considered clean money.”
“I'll need to see your colleague's badge,” I said. “I'm not just going to give $50,000 of my money to someone I don't know.”
“Undercover agents don't carry badges,” he said, as if I'd asked the CIA to bring me a Happy Meal. “They're undercover. Remember, you are probably being watched. The criminals cannot know that a CIA agent is there.”
...
I met the SUV at the curb and put the money in the back seat. It was 6:06 p.m. Even if I'd tried to see who was driving, the windows were tinted and it was dusk. He maybe wore a baseball cap. When I turned around, I could see the backlit faces of my husband and son watching from our apartment nine stories above.
...
I told my husband what had happened. “Why didn't you tell me?” he asked, incredulous. “I would have stopped you.” That I'd been trying to protect him suddenly seemed so idiotic I couldn't even say it out loud.

Entire thread is great, lots of older women crowing about how 18-year-old girls fake all the time and hate s*x and that only older, experienced women enjoy s*x. Man, I wonder what ulterior motives they could possibly have with this narrative
Personal favorite comment: This guy telling some foid that the phrase "please do better" adds 100 pounds to her

Sounds like someone's mad they would be near the bottom of the list
Active in /r/Destiny according to subreddit tagger
Just FYI, your streamer has a list too: https://old.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/q1pgf8/destiny_has_a_frick_buddy_spreadsheet
He also shared a girl's nudes without her consent.
Just making sure you're equally disgusted about this and not a hypocrite.
this guy is a hasan fan (unsurprising) but he also used to post on /r/drama
reveal yourself
Bro she started passing the list around the room too lmfao these hoes wild

No it wont. Any guy who is crazy enough to go near her after this, is extremely mentally ill.
Any guy wouldn't give a frick cause it's irrelevant lmaoo,
Sounds like someone wants to be on the list
She isn't gonna sleep with you lil bro you can stop white knighting under every comment on the thread 🤡

Being an average looking girl sucks
I feel like nobody ever talks about how much you are ignored in society, like you don't matter, when you are not noticeably attractive. I'm 18, and I have gone my whole life without any guys really liking me. It's so hard to watch all these girls get attention from guys for being attractive, and to basically get ignored as someone who isn't as attractive. I don't think I am a hideous beast or anything, I'm not fat or anything like that, I just have an average face. I think it's so wrong how many guys will only be nice or pay attention to you if they think you are attractive, at least in my experience. Shouldn't everybody get respect, even if they are not considered to be good looking by whoever's talking to them? I don't know, it just makes me sad sometimes.
guarantee she is actually ugly
No sympathy here. You could get laid easily by almost any dude just by consenting. This is a privilege even very good looking men don't enjoy.
Ew, I don't want to "get laid." I am only 18, I am not interested in all that anyway. I want a boyfriend who is like a best friend who will treat me nicely no matter what I look like. I just want to have fun, and I think it is clear from my situation that I could not.
LMAO
Are you fat?
No! I'm 5'5'' and have a 23 BMI. I know 140 lbs isn't super skinny but it's not fat and I don't look fat.
Guys at your age are shallow. In their early 20s they'll learn that beauty comes at a price. I prefer average. Keep the faith.
"i prefer average"
This is why I think it's funny how people claim women in Muslim cultures are mistreated… they overall get way more respect in general than western women in their culture.
You are young. The boys you are talking about are selfish immature and their brains dont fully mature till they are 26. Count yourself lucky.
"He was 25.5 you sick frick "
I think the problem is not you are average, the problem is that you are ugly or not attractive.
I'm a handsome man, and the average girls are the ones I prefer to date. Extremely attractive women are often rude, entitled, snobby, and unpleasant. Average girls are sweet, kind, down to earth, polite, approachable, and very easy to care about. Saying that nobody has ever liked you truly saddens me. I don't know you, but I'm quite willing to say that I'm certain you're a good catch. I promise you, no matter when it happens, you'll make a good man very happy. Keep your head up.

Had a random epiphany today, about the times(s) he complained to me about how badly I have “let myself go”…
It's not just that it was a shitty thing to say to a woman that he allegedly “loved”. The first problem is that he said this thinking he was showing me some “tough love” by telling me a “hard truth”. He told himself that he needed to say it because I needed to hear it “for my own good”… In his mind, this makes him a “supportive partner”, and this feeling strokes his ego.
I have been haunted by his words every day since the first time he said the following (and I quote…verbatim):
“I don't know if you've realized this, but it's getting really hard to ignore how badly you've let yourself go.”
OUTCH. Ever hear something, and it just… knocks the wind right out of you? Is that really how emotional support is supposed to feel? I don't even remember what I said in reply. Cortisol flooding interferes with episodic memory storage in the brain, as I now understand. It's part of the many ways emotional trauma tends to make people physically unwell.
Sometimes, trauma causes the opposite problem, and certain memories become indelibly imprinted enough to cross the mind multiple times every day, forever. His words do that to me. It occurred to me, as i ruminated again while brushing my teeth this morning, that what I should have said to him was this:
“No, just NO, Motherlover… you took my selfhood away from me. I never “let go” of shit. Every day you tore off more and more little pieces of me, you never stopped cutting me down to size. Now you're mad that my Self is gone? Frick you.”
Felt like this was a bit too heavy to post on /r/showerthoughts, but it also felt like too big of a breakthrough not to get it off my chest.
Edited to add:
Wow, I am overwhelmed to receive so many supportive comments! I mostly posted this so I could purge some of the really big feelings that came up for me this morning, because I still had to go to work and be in a clear enough headspace to get through my day. I think I'm going to start journaling more, writing really helped me process my thoughts and feelings about what I've been through. I was really touched to read so many thoughtful and caring comments… even though it sucks that so many of you have been through some similar shit. 💜

Top comment:
I'm not mad at the girlfriend.
I am mad at the friends. Why in the frick would they ever tell you that?
Of COURSE it's going to ruin the relationship that they claimed they were so happy about for your girlfriend.
(-17)so they shouldve kept their mouth shut and let her bf not know that 3 mexicoo amigos fricked her?
Oh no. A woman had s*x. Call the cops.
It's just normal s*x chud
(-26)It's very good they told him, he deserves to know who she is.
…who is she?
She didn't cheat. She didn't even know him yet.
There's also a very serious question of consent here. She was drunk and high and, in her own words, “feels taken advantage of.”
She didn't cheat and actually she probably got r*ped anyway
these things are logically the same
MMMF foursomes are just part and parcel of being a 21 year old woman these days.
Only an inexperienced 18 year old could possibly care about this. Also some seethe under this comment, not gonna post all of it.
Bottom comment:
You sound like a misogynist.

Hello fellow foids I just wanted to post this to show you why we need feminism.
In this case study, a woman cooks food every day for her family because she "loves cooking"
One day she accidentally burns the dinner and, put of stress and fear, has some kind of foidal meltdown.
But I stead of beating and berating her, the hero of the story, the moid in shining armour, her husbanderino, comes in and says "no big deal" and eats the burnt food anyway.
He told me we can scrape the burned part off no harm no foul and he was so excited to eat the dinner I made. I burst into tears. He's the most loving, caring, and kind human I know and the little things like tonight just make me so happy to have him. I grew up with a mom that blew up about everything and my husband heals that part of me that feels like I can't do anything right. He's truly my favorite person. That's all. Nothing major but wanted to get it out there.
Fellow foids, are you seeing what I'm seeing? That this foid needs to set some higher expectations from her moid? Such as maybe cooking his own dinner once in a fricking while?
This foid is blind to the unfair share of household labour which falls to her that even when overloaded to the point of failure, instead of asking her useless mood to help more, falls at his feet for treating the minor mistakes as a minor mistake.
Look at some of these comments:
You've got yourself a good man, I'm happy for you 😊.. It's always nice to read about something sweet.
SHE COOKS FOR HIM EVERY NIGHT AND SHE'S GOT A GOOD MAN?!
I'm so happy for you. Wish you well🤍🙁
SO HAPPY FOR YOUR DOMESTIC SERVITUDE!
This is the love language of a good man.
MODERN MAN CALLED! HE SAID COOK FOR YOUSELF ONCE ON A WHILE!
My husband has done the same for me and the feeling is so amazing. I'm so happy for you that you have him.
YOUR HUSBAND ALSO DIDN'T BEAT YOU WHEN YOU OVERCOOKED HIS DINNER? WOW LIVING THE WOMENS LIB DREAM!
There's terminology for this phenomenon of moids getting undeserved praise but /r/gendercritical has been banned for too long and I can't remember it. Hope some fellow radfems can help me out.
Thanks
