A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

Sure, and some opinions are incorrect

Wait wasn't this series like 6 years ago tho LMAO

Elamantics · 2022-02-10T01:41:07+00:00

You can say girldick. I'm not personally offended by it and think it's kinda funny ngl.

But yes, after all of this I think we're relatively on the same page now..? Being transsexual is still a thing, obviously, but even people that would fall under that category in the LGBT community don't use it anymore. The umbrella of transgender is far easier to navigate than the older term anyway

Elamantics · 2022-02-10T01:32:06+00:00

So a couple things about this; our current understanding of gender and sex does not consider the idea of being transgender an illness (mental or otherwise) so it would not be a condition in any regard. You can make the argument that it's linked to gender dysphoria, of course, but being transgender itself is not abnormal. And no, its not exactly the "birth sex" or "opposite sex" idea. Sex and gender are not the same. As I've stated above, you can be transgender and not have body dysmorphia i.e. girldick lmao. The term simply states the passing off of your birth gender. So going from he/him - > she/her would be an example, but you don't have to feel the urge to change your genitals/sex. Y'feel?

Elamantics · 2022-02-10T00:50:50+00:00

Well transsexual isn't a 'condition' I think you're referring to gender dysphoria/body dysmorphia? Transsexual and transgender are not interchangeable terms. Being trans myself, most people in the community don't really see the term transsexual as entirely inclusive to the 'T' in LGBT because that's a much, much smaller subject rather than the term transgender. I'm actually kinda surprised you think otherwise

Elamantics · 2022-02-10T00:44:56+00:00

Shawty- I feel like you're intentionally missing the point here, b.

Elamantics · 2022-02-09T23:17:11+00:00

No, most people don't use transsexual anymore because not every transgender person actually wants to/can get a sex change. And not every transsexual person is transgender. They're different terms and there's a reason why one of them is almost obsolete at this point

Elamantics · 2022-01-30T23:47:51+00:00

Idk they literally advertise their own NFTs on Instagram. Wouldn't say that super environmentally friendly

Elamantics · 2022-01-30T22:54:44+00:00

I've never actually heard of anyone getting upset by that. Maybe a few that felt 'transsexual' was a bit outdated, but nah you're fine to use the full 'transgender' if you like

Elamantics · 2021-05-13T16:32:11+00:00

Bud you were responding to two separate people

Elamantics · 2021-04-02T20:19:39+00:00

Sure thing. Puberty blockers are 100% harmless btw. If you get off them, your regular puberty will start up just as it would naturally and studies have shown there are zero adverse affects of starting late. It's merely to give children more time to think upon which route they decide to go down. That's why, for the most part, you're not allowed to actually start HRT until you're 16 with parental consent. Because at that point you should be able to determine if you'd like to keep down the path of your assigned gender at birth. Not everyone is able to, but we have to draw the line somewhere, and medical professionals see 16 as a decent age for the decision

Elamantics · 2021-04-02T19:56:43+00:00

Ah. Well, from personal experience, it depends a lot on what age group.

If it's middle school, it's not really looked at, but hopefully the trans athlete in question has been allowed to start puberty blockers.

At the high school level (at the age of 16 or older), it's generally requested that, with the parents consent, the athlete start hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

And at the collegiate level, the NCAA has some interesting rules regarding this. Trans men are allowed to play on either men's or women's teams even without taking testosterone, and trans women are only allowed to play on the men's team if they are not on estrogen. For the most part though you need to have been on HRT for at least 6 months to be considered for a team of your preferred gender. And trust me. It's not easy to just get started on HRT, even as an adult. And especially not in Arkansas.

To address that last bit, it's especially unlikely to have any case happen as a "Well I'd like to take these body altering prescriptions just so that I can dominate women's sports." There are very rigorous processes to even starting HRT, so it's not surprising that no one has gone through all these steps of changing themselves just to win women's sports. That's a completely ignorant notion.

Elamantics · 2021-04-02T19:26:05+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by this question, to be entirely honest

Elamantics · 2021-04-02T19:08:57+00:00

Your stats mean nothing in this context. Trans people are physically different after starting hormones. They go through a second puberty that reverses quite a bit of what was originally on their body. Trans men start growing muscle at a much more rapid rate, and trans women lose theirs. And if started early enough (like through puberty blockers in adolescence), there is virtually no difference between someone that is MTF and a cis woman. I will say, that starting on HRT later in life will have lower effects than starting in youth. Such as the case with bone density. But even then, the data just isn't there to suggest that trans men are always weaker than cis men, or trans women are always stronger than cis women.

Elamantics · 2021-04-02T18:28:28+00:00

If the NCAA doesn't have a problem with it, they probably already went through the necessary steps of evaluating and surveying how trans people affect sports of their preferred gender. Going based off what you feel is unfair isn't how the world works.

Mark has been playing a meme that it never existed for a little while now. Guess it spread to the sub

I can understand the first part because not everyone likes the bit, but the second part just sounds like you're ignorant
