Can we cut the "Real" Woman Crap?

Content warning: Transphobia, body image, vulgar language

So in the past week I've run into various mentions of "real" women in different feminist areas where I participate.  It's gone from the whole "real women have curves" and body snarking to the transphobia of second wave informed radical feminists.   Which since no one seems to be discussing robots I'd like to point out that we're all fucking real ok!  No one is made solely of metal, plastic, and computer code.
