"Womanhood is not defined by what's between one's legs; it's defined by
lived experience and identity".
In this powerful fourth episode of the
Universal Rainbow Faith Blogcast, we dive into the May 4, 2025, message from Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler:
"Countering the Myths of 'What Is a Woman?': Trans Women and the Real Fight Against Misogyny." This episode dismantles the harmful narratives used to divide women and reveals the shared spiritual and physical struggles that unite all who live as women.
In this episode, we explore:- The Shared Reality of Fear: Why a trans woman and a cis woman both clench their keys between their fingers when walking home at night—because misogyny doesn't care about the gender you were assigned at birth.
- Beyond Reproductive Organs: We challenge the notion that a womb defines a woman, noting that millions of cisgender women who cannot or choose not to bear children are no less "real".
- The Real Threat Identified: The sources clarify that the real danger to women is entrenched male violence and patriarchal control, not trans women in bathrooms or sports.
- Trans Women as Community Builders: Highlighting the vital roles trans women play as "House Mothers," caregivers, and fierce advocates who enrich the fabric of the feminist movement.
- A Sacred Spectrum: Reaffirming the Universal Rainbow Faith stance that trans men and non-binary people are sacred, and that divinity is not binary.
"We can protect and uplift
all women simultaneously, because the threats to women come from the same place".
