    Also, women aren’t actually rare, large companies have warehouses full of women to artificially inflate the price

      Not all cis women have the ability to give birth tho, and even if they did, not all cis women want to give birth. How is that meaningfully different?

          Even from a categorical standpoint I don’t see how the distinction matters. Like, if the categories were “can give birth” and “can’t/won’t give birth” that’s one thing because the “can’t/won’t” category would include trans and cis women but having the categories be “trans women” and “women who can give birth” feels very gender essentialism to me. By that logic we should also have a separate category for cis women that can’t/won’t give birth but then at that point why even differentiate based on whether they’re trans or cis at all?

              I mean, I’m happy for you and your partner I suppose, but like you’re creating an unnecessary and arbitrary divide between cis and trans women for no real reason. Plenty of trans women can and do have biological children, so if it’s an issue of being able to have kids at all (which it seems to be going off of your other comments) their ability to give birth doesn’t really matter. The only time it would matter is if a trans woman and a cis man wanted a child but even then there’s ways around that, albeit in slightly more complicated ways. And also, you’re not receiving negative feedback due to a lack of “enthusiastic praise for trans positivity”, your getting negative feedback because you came onto a trans sub to proclaim your opinion that trans women are “categorically different” than cis women and are treating it like a fact when it simply isn’t

      Is it? Where does being able to give birth matter when it comes to the social construct of a woman? There are men, specifically trans men, who can give birth. Conflating the ability to give birth being inherently a feature of a woman is trans masc erasure.

        I assume the comparison with diamonds has something to do with relationships, engagements, marriage, and the like. Being able to give birth is important if your marriage goal is to raise a family.

        Of course it could be referring to the other major use for diamonds which is in industrial abrasives and cutting tools. In that case, maybe you value women for their abrasiveness!

      Is it? I’m a cis woman who paid good money not to be able to give birth.

      (Edit: technically I can still give birth I guess, just made sure it won’t happen without a lot of pre-work in a lab.

    Of course they are. The pain, suffering and slavery is what makes a natural special and desirable.

    Naturally produced women have imperfections and lustre that makes them look much better around my neck.

    Synthetically produced women can be made with a precision that makes them better for industrial applications, like cutting saws and lasers.

    I think I might start referring to the patriarchy as “the women mines”

    And just like with diamonds, there is a lot more blood involved with natural women!

    When you unintentionally(?) promote sex doll positivity.

    Although to be fair sex dolls can also be synthetic men, turians, elves, etc. as well.

    Also a sex doll won’t tell you they’re busy doing calibrations.
