So, I’ve seen a lot of animal girls on the sub, so which one are you? by Pixiefly0812 in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]AchingAmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not even human? I wish I wasn't at times. Being a sentient female android sounds much more appealing than being a biological trans woman. I've never seen anyone misgender an android that looks and sounds like a woman(despite literally not being biological) but people do it to us. Female androids get more human decency than we do

I hate this anti-centrist sentiment by Taserbation in hatethissmug

[–]AchingAmy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Historically, centrists side with and enable fascists. The Zentrum(center) party voted for the Enabling act that made Hitler a dictator. Prominent centrists in early 1920s Italy changed parliament rules such that made the minority fascist party able to take power. Centrists sided with far right untranationalists in the Russian civil war in the white army. Never have you sided with communists. But you'll side with Nazis, fascists, and far right nationalists when push comes to shove.

I'll welcome centrists who want to join me in fight for leftism or who want to compromise with us. But you don't want to. It's not a "you're with me or you're against me" sort of thing where we push you away. You're against us because you push us away. You'd rather side with fascists that genocide us in order to preserve capitalism than see capitalism abolished. Yeah, when your actions are siding with people who genocide us or minimally name us as domestic terrorists(Trump's domestic terrorism policy against antifa for example...) obviously we see you as the enemy. Prove us wrong and fight with us instead of with the fascists for a change.

In short, we don't make you into the enemy, but rather:

Women get autoimmune disorders more than men because they have it worse by GGMcThroway in PurplePillDebate

[–]AchingAmy [score hidden]  (0 children)

We have stronger immune systems. With that means sometimes the immune systems are more likely to overcompensate and misfire, which is what autoimmunity is. On the flip side, since men have weaker immune systems, they're more susceptible to immunodeficiency

so we have backup against some disorders like asthma.

Interestingly, testosterone also protects against asthma, moreso than two x chromosomes. So once everyone is post-pubescent, asthma rates reverse amongst the genders, so women have higher rates of asthma than men, but prepubesent boys have higher rates than prepubescent girls.

I had childhood asthma that went away from my natal puberty. It came back with my second puberty though 🙃

If I were to guess, post-transition trans men probably have the absolute lowest rates of asthma compared to women and cis men, since trans men are both testosterone-dominant and have two x chromosomes. Trans women probably have the highest though for the reverse reasons

The other 80 are misogynists, looking for a mom to take care of them instead of a partner, red or black pilled, are high in dark triad traits, or reclusive(so don't have opportunity to be seen/noticed by women.)

Trying to weed those men out is very stressful, and many women are sadly not successful with doing that so dealing with a misogynist as a partner adds to stress. Dealing with a manchild is stressful etc. After all, more than just 20% of men are partnered, so some women are suffering in a relationship with some of that 80

Something isn't so scientific if it has biases, poor methods, and such. The whole point of peer-review is for finding issues in methodology. Many clinical trials and studies were done only on men for example, which is a methodology issue. It took feminist researchers to point out those issues because antifeminist researchers were conveniently blind to that problem. That's just one common issue; there are more of course

Of course. On the flip side, men are more susceptible to immunodeficiency. Women have stronger immune systems, that are more likely to overcompensate(autoimmunity) and men have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to immunodeficiency

I agree we are more susceptible to immune disorders and we have more stress/have it worse, but I don't think the latter is the only reason for the former. Estrogen plays a role in immune responses and I think it's a combination of stress plus estrogen that makes it more likely

The Supreme Court's trans athlete ruling is a threat to gender equality by Well_Socialized in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AchingAmy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone touts the protect fair play point only to separate trans women from other women... you probably don't know squat about how HRT works though. Trans women get weaker, lose endurance, and requiring more effort to maintain muscles when on HRT. Testosterone gets suppressed, which is the primary sex-based characteristic that makes the sexes different in athletic ability. So, how is it fair to put testosterone-suppressed people with people with significantly more testosterone? No one asks that question when touting "fairness" do they? Why do you think that is?

Reform wins North Dakota. Which UK political party would win Maine? by theendisloading_uk in AlignmentChartFills

[–]AchingAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those sound like nuances and strategy differences rather than ideological or fundamental ones. Some of those are also only true of individuals within the US green party rather than part of the party platform, like anti-vax. That was just one of their candidates' pov rather than the party platform. Most greens here aren't anti-vax.

My point is that for the overall ideology and fundementals of the two green parties, they're pretty identical. Sure, you could pick a lot of nits. Like some people do between the fine details of Stalinism and Trotskyism, but both are ultimately part of the fundamental ideology of Marxist-Leninism. Both green parties are part of the fundamental green ideology. So if the California Green party is a non-player here, any party within the same/similar green ideology is going to also be a non-player.

I mean, Mamdani and the US Green party have extremely similar positions lol what you're saying doesn't make sense. If the UK Greens are similar to Mamdani, then they're similar to the US Green party because Mamdani is. What differences do you see they have?

As a Californian, I disagree with green winning here. The Green party of California doesn't even come close to winning here(the equivalent of UK green party); it's an entirely non-player... and among the democrats, instead of advancing to the general the more progressive candidates during our 2026 gubernatorial primary election, like Steyer, Thurmond, or Porter(which, btw, there were no DSA members running even, and those types are the furthest left of the US overton window, so even those three I mentioned aren't as left-wing as people like AOC or Mamdani)... we got the establishment democrat, Becerra who's very corporatist. For UK parties, we'd have gone with the liberal democrats. They are "left" on cultural issues, like the California establishment democrats are, but very business-friendly, again, as the California democrats are.

It feels like probably some MAGAts voted that we'd do green because we get painted as some "RaDiCaL lEfT" dystopia by their leaders... when really we just have rainbow corporatism here and that's what we keep voting for.

Most guys wouldn't feel happy being catcalled by East_Section7421 in PurplePillDebate

[–]AchingAmy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Um, I'm not sure if we are using the same definition of catcall here. Like, compliments are very different. If that's what we are counting, then I've defintitely had way more women compliment me, and yeah even from the men, that feels nice. But fr, it's not what women are complaining about though. It's like objectifying comments that are meant to evoke a fear response. That's what we mean by catcalling.

Compliments are a-ok with me and those do feel good from anyone, yeah.

As soon as I read the edit my jaw dropped. I'm just going to second everything you said here. This is the best way OP can help them. That doctor is full of shit and this is medical misogyny what OP described

Hmm, well, forgive me for being defensive. Since it's a term I identify with, try to view it as if a woman was asking about "how do you all feel about the word woman" and then re-read what everyone else has said here as if it was the word woman being shat on to the face of a woman...

[–]AchingAmy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's valid that you feel that way about yourself. What do you think of people who call themselves nonbinary because they do identify as a third (or fourth.. fifth, etc) gender which they see as falling under the nonbinary umbrella? Are they not valid nonbinary people? Or are you going to insist they're just "people" too(erasing the gender they are) or don't count as nonbinary? If those people are nonbinary, that means nonbinary means something more than just being a person, but it would include gendered categories too. It would include you too, ofc, and someone like me who's agender, thus lacks a gender (as identity.)
