WHAT IS A WOMAN?
As a trans woman, I read with interest the feature What It Feels Like For A Girl (July). I can identify with Freiya Benson regarding people questioning my identity as a woman. The question of “What is a woman” differs from woman to woman. Perhaps lesbians, biological women, bisexual women and trans women view and answer that question differently. Whatever lifestyle a woman lives and how they view and answer the question, we all come under the same umbrella of sisterhood.
For myself, being a woman means that my inner self is free to live the life I have always wanted to live, a sense of belonging, being feminine, a part of the sisterhood and being dressed in feminine clothing and styles.
