There are women of color and there are disabled women; there are lesbians and there are women of faith; there are mothers and there are servicewomen; there are women veterans and bisexual women -- and that's hardly an exhaustive list of the subcategories of women. Women's experience intersects with multiple labels and multiple identities; each woman's experience is complex, and not solely described within the confines of the "female" and "woman" found within western society's binary sex and gender norms.
In the past handful of years, I've come to understand that the trans in the phrase "trans woman" is descriptor for a kind of women in the same way that "disabled" and "African-American" are descriptors of kinds of women in the phrases "disabled woman" and "African-American woman."
