I dunno, I thought I objected to the motherhood bit, but maybe not as strenuously. Or maybe I edited it out. Then again, motherhood is something that women can choose; rape is by definition something that nobody chooses.
For what it's worth, transwomen do get a lot of that shit. They may not have grown up under it, having the outward appearance of boys, but then again they might have been constantly bashed for being sissy boys. When they start putting on the outward appearance of women, with or without surgery, they have to put up with the same crap that the rest of us do -- sexual harassment, discrimination in the workplace, pressure to conform to female beauty standards.
