This is an oddly affirming statistic. We can now definitively prove that trans women are women, because they make 17-18% less than men.

I'm pretty sure those numbers are much higher, that makes trans women the most womanly kind of woman!

On average, transgender women earned 18 per cent less annually than cisgender men. The earnings gap was 13 per cent for non-binary people and 9.2 per cent for transgender men

Mental health issues and misogyny don’t help :(

Not to mention the pink tax on items for women.
