Why do I think this has any relevence to feminism? I suppose the statement released is quite a political statement and one which will get a lot of views/coverage. I am also surprised by how much my reaction has differed to what it would have been 10 years ago. Then, I would have been 'how brave.' I would have mentally said welcome to the sisterhood, kind of thing. 
I would have worried for this person's safety, even. I would also have thought, this has no impact on me and Abigail is zero threat to me.
Now? Abigail is free to dress whatever Abigail wants. Abigail is free to rename themselves, to wear make up, to alter their voice. I have zero care at all about that to be truthful. People are free to express themselves through clothes and make up however they want. Abigail has got many supportive, positive comments from others for taking this action as opposed to hate and bigotry.
But is Abigail legitimately now a woman? I think we all know the answer to that. Will Abigail ever experience rape in a female body? Her period flooding at the worst time/place? Miscarriage? FGM? Pelvic organ prolapse? A traumatic birth where Abigail tears? The worst bits of the menopause?
I don't feel angry at someone like Abigail necessarily, I feel angry that all the thousands of people commenting on the coming out video are are so ignorant about what some women experience and this idea that has taken hold about how 'woman' is a costume or a performance. I have no make up on today. I have ratty old trousers and a T Shirt on so I can go out on my bike in a bit. I have just had my period and had a bit of a shit time of it. And I'm off to the doctor soon about a medical condition only females can get which is very painful and demoralising to deal with. Women who have it often turn to paying privately for treatment as the NHS doesn't really care. Abigail's statement clearly states that trans women are hardest hit by sexual violence and talks about 'cis' women just tweeting about toilets. I am sick to the back teeth of this Orwellian nonsense. I know very well I'm not the only one.
