Using the same patriarchal hegemonic oppression used against women many years ago and still going on today to invalidate trans womanhood will not further or enhance their lives in any form.

They forget that being a woman, thanks to biology is not so clearcut. Carrying a child, bleeding, petite body size/feet/hands, high pitched vocals are not prerequisite features a woman must posses to join their exclusive club!
There are many cis women who now suffers the same hate, discrimination harassment faced by trans women in public spaces because of these archaic definition of womanhood.

This self-described 'Radical Feminist' in this video is using rape, FGM and female sufferings to justify her rejection of trans women into womanhood. OOOOKAY! Using victims of heinous crimes committed by cis men to score points against trans women, citing imaginary 'trans' boogiemen in dresses coming to get them or take their female only spaces.
We must not play VICTIM OLYMPICS to prove the sufferings of one particular group over the other. Rape, discrimination, harassment and other sexist evils are not exclusive to cis gender women.
