We should look at what transwomen say about their experiences of being women and see if it sounds like something a real woman would say. Here's some from transwoman authors:

"Pornography is what it feels like when you think you have an object, but really the object has you. It is therefore a quintessential expression of femaleness." -- Andrea Long Chu

"Getting fucked makes you female because fucked is what a female is." -- Andrea Long Chu

"There is something about being treated like shit by men that feels like affirmation itself, like a cry of delight from the deepest cavern of my breast ... to be a victim of honest, undisguised sexism possesses an exhilarating vitality." -- Grace Lavery

"While I never really believed the cliché about women being good for one thing, I found that that sentiment kept creeping into my fantasies. I would imagine myself being sold into sex slavery and having strange men take advantage of me. It's called forced feminization, and it's not really about sex. It is about turning the humiliation you feel into pleasure, transforming the loss of male privilege into the best fuck ever." -- Julia Serano

To me they just sound like horny men parading their misogyny.

Neat list of cherrypicked quotes! Super curious though, why did you copy and paste this exact list from a transphobic Twitter account? from a quick Google search I can tell this is what you've done.

You certain that this is a good faith comment? Not trying to push a false narrative?

I note that you have no comment to make on the quotes themselves, just complaints of transphobia.

Do you agree with what was said in these quotations, and do you think that these three famous transwomen who said these things are actually women - or just pornsick, sexist men?

In trans circles, these guys are celebrated.

There is no reasonable reply to an incoherent point and you know as well as I do from reading your post history that you don't actually want to debate.

You've selected a short list composed by someone else of inflammatory quotations to use in a casual display of the spotlight fallacy, it's not at all compelling.

Okay, but do you think these transwomen who I quoted are actually women?

Some inflammatory/trolly/silly/whatever remarks by some people who are trans suddenly discredits all trans people?

Hope you're not a white man, because boy do I have some inflammatory/trolly/silly/whatever remarks said by THOSE guys for ya! :)
