To be a woman is to be expected to match an ideal mediated image.

It means being coerced into a performance of always being alluring, but not dirty; sensual, but not sexual; pretty, but not vain; capable, but not proud. To always be hungry. In a phrase: to exist solely for the sake of others.

To be acceptable she must surrender all agency and allow herself to be morphed by social power– to be made pleasing and useful.

In this sense trans women are the most woman of all.
