Hmm? What words am I putting in the mouths of natal females in that post? I'm using their words. More specifically, the words of Simone de Beauvoir, whose work formed the basis for nearly all strains of modern feminism.
Beyond that, I would say that your sample size is rather small. More importantly, it's heavily biased towards women in relationships with gender nonconforming men who want to make it work badly enough to attend support groups and other functions with them.
With respect to bitterness, sure... I'm bitter about a lot of things. Transition has thrown the pervasive double standards and ridiculousness of patriarchy into incredibly sharp relief. It's frustrating when men don't recognize or actively dismiss the struggles that women still face in modern society, simply because they aren't affected by them. It's especially infuriating when men do that while simultaneously claiming some deeper connection to or understanding of women. So yes, I will somewhat bitterly point out the ways in which you do that, most of which you don't even realize you're doing.
As Reine keeps trying to point out, to seemingly minimal comprehension... Very few of you actually want to be women. The vast majority of you want to be centerfolds, or more accurately, the heavily staged static images of them, because that is your definition of what women should be. I have seen so many responses to her posts that go something like, "Yes, I agree Reine. Good points! That is why I strive to have very feminine mannerisms and look very presentable and prim and proper, so that I can feel like a woman", thus demonstrating that they have completely missed the point, intentionally or not.
