One of the core dogmata of the transgender movement is the statement that ''trans women are women'' (and the less often repeated ''trans men are men''). Under this view it's important to write ''trans woman'' as two words (adjective and noun) and not ''transwoman'', to stress the fact that so-called trans women are literally a subtype of women, just like white women, black women, short women, tall women, and so on. | One of the core dogmata of the transgender movement is the statement that ''trans women are women'' (and the less often repeated ''trans men are men'').

The statement "trans women are women" is not meant as a vague slogan of moral support, but in a literal sense.<ref name=nytimes/><ref name=stonewall/> | ||
Since the statement contradicts the dictionary definition of the word "woman" (adult human female), it implies the desire for a different definition. When prompted, transgender activists rarely attempt to provide such an alternative definition. Most attempts tend to revolve around a circular definition, such as "anyone who identifies as a woman, is a woman." As such, the statement is most accurately described as a dogma. | Since the statement contradicts the dictionary definition of the word "woman" (adult human female), it implies the desire for a different definition.

The idea that transwomen are literally women is taken as the basis for many problematic conclusions, such as: transwomen deserve to partake in women's sports, transwomen should be seen as part of the natural dating pool of lesbians, transwomen deserve to use all female facilities, enter female-only spaces and events, speak on women's rights as women, and so on. | The idea that transwomen are literally women is taken as the basis for many problematic conclusions, such as: transwomen deserve to partake in women's sports,<ref name=businessinsider/> transwomen should be seen as part of the natural dating pool of lesbians (see also [[cotton ceiling]]),<ref name=yardley/> transwomen deserve to use all female facilities, enter female-only spaces and events, speak on women's rights as women, and so on.<ref name=stonewall/> | ||
