    A number of examples in the article about women who fall short of some racist and misogynist idea of womanhood.

    “These examples strike me as particular cases where racism and transphobia and intersex phobia are kind of inseparable,” Griffiths said. “It ties back to a much longer history of the way that race is gendered, in which Black women are taken to be more masculine compared to white women."

    I’d have added misogyny to the list of “racism, transphobia, intersex phobia”. People thinking they can define what womanhood is based on… what.
