And as for acceptance... there is a huge section of society that doesn't see trans women as "real women". Because they're not. They are transsexual women. I've said this before but it's worth saying again... transsexual women are not the same as those of us born a woman... but they are worth exactly the same.

I appreciate that a lot of people do not consider transwomen to be women, but while that view might be common enough it would still be insulting to transwomen and it's not surprising they'd be hurt by it
