This essay makes at least two moves. The first is where Sophie-Grace Chappell makes a case for understanding trans women as women and where she gives some reasons why trans women are actually women. The second part is where she makes a case for how everyone else should talk about and to trans women. How important do you think that it is to have the first part of this conversation in the public sphere? Someone might say that the only thing that matters is that trans women be treated respectfully and well-it doesn't matter how people answer the "but are they men really?" question. What do you think about a position like this? What might Chappell say about this position?
