We are all women and, more importantly, we are all human

I ??shouldn’t be writing this column. The last thing the world needs right now is yet another cisgender woman sermonising about her views on the trans community.

(For those of you who are unfamiliar with the terms, cisgender is an adjective to describe people whose gender corresponds to the sex they were born. Trans-women are those who presented as male at birth but who have transitioned and now live their lives as women.)

I don’t understand what it feels like to be born into a body that is ‘wrong’, to believe that the way in which the world sees you is incompatible with the way you see yourself. I would never dare to presume that I understand what it’s like to be transgender.
