"Freedom from is greater than freedom to." -- Margaret Atwood

It works on so many levels.:allears:

I would agree if they had said "I will never feel like a real woman" or if Ben Carson said "I do not feel as though I have suffered from racism".

However, stating that they never will be a real woman, or that they have never have experienced racism, are truth claims about the wider world, not their interior life, and are therefore fair game.

Yeah, but at the very least, those statements suggest that they're just incorrect when it comes to their own experiences. That doesn't necessarily mean that they deny transphobia or racism as broader phenomena in the world. (although Ben Carson probably would, but hey, what do you expect, it's Ben Carson)
