Budapestian Dianics argue that trans women were not raised as female from birth and so had different experiences from cisgender women who were. Absolutely true. And tomboys had different experiences from gender-conforming girls, and queer girls had different experiences than straight girls, and women of color had different experiences than white women, and poor women, rural women, non-able-bodied women, immigrant women…all women have unique experiences because we are not solely women. “Woman” is not a monolithic, all-inclusive term, but rather a self-descriptor that must be claimed to have any meaningful currency.

Ryiah Nevo, from “Twenty Years in the Dianic Traditions,” in the anthology Gender and Transgender in Modern Paganism.

All women have unique experiences because we are not solely women.
