feministfront:

women of color have different experiences than white women.

lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, and other lgbtqia+ women have different experiences than straight women.

disabled, mentally ill, and chronically ill women have different experiences than able-bodied, neurotypical, and not-chronically ill women.

trans women have different experiences than cis women.

nevertheless, they’re all still women. they can acknowledge experiences that they do not share with others while simultaneously addressing their own unique struggles. just because a woman does not share your exact situation and experiences does not mean she’s any less of a woman. there is no one way to be a woman.

it’s that simple.
