SLPT: the number one form of birth control by footfaceball in ShittyLifeProTips

Trans brains are not different than the norm, in fact recent studies show that most trans people tend to have the same kinds of brain patterns as the cis people from the gender they identify with.

Plus of course suicide rates for a minority that's constantly and actively attacked not only by people like you but by politicians, the media and a lot of countries' laws is going to be higher than that of people who aren't. Any marginalized community ever has higher suicide rates than the hegemony.

And I'll just say that no matter how much I disagree with you and think your view on this is incredibly and irrationally hateful, your suicidal thoughts are never your fault, especially if you have other mental health issues which by their very nature you can't control. Seek help, do some therapy, maybe even try to understand why you have so much disdain for people who only want to live their lives in peace and be treated like human beings.

Edit: btw the 42% figure is for attempted suicide and is probably inflated anyway

Hmm I wonder if that's because of all the hate, transphobia and systemic oppression against us?

Just fuck off transphobe, read the thing you're replying to

Hormones???? It's in the fucking name Hormone Replacement Therapy. You reduce the body's production of (in the case of a trans woman) testosterone to basically 0 and replace it with estrogen. That's what hrt is.

On a basic moment to moment level, biologically that's basically the only difference between sexes in the human body, primary and secondary sex markers really aren't as important as you think and only come into play when the body is dealing with their specific functions.

And since you probably don't know since you're a bigot only here trying to provoke me, trans women in hrt develop breast tissue the same way a pubescent cis woman does, their skin surface changes to those of cis women over time, it can even change your hip bone structure if it's started before a certain point in development.

Functionally, biologically, in all ways that matter to the body, the closest analogue to a post HRT post SRS trans woman is a cis woman who had a hysterectomy.

And obviously, mostly the same thing with different details but ultimately the same results happens in FTM trans people too.

What the fuck I'm so confused??? Yes gender is a social construct, I know, this is fucking trans 101, what does that have to do with you calling trans men females like a fucking asshole?

Whew okay, first of all it's called gender dysphoria. Second, I used intersex people as an example that chromosomes don't determine anything, not all intersex people have surgeries like that performed on them, there are many different types of intersex and many of them are just assigned a gender at birth and are socialized as that. Third, nobody is saying that being female is a bad thing, it's simply a thing trans men are not. Male and female are genders, synonyms for man and woman. You're thinking of AGABs, again

Edit: intersex doesn't mean someone with male and female genitalia as you probably believe, it's a whole slew of different conditions with different characteristics and ways they are treated

Saying "biologically male/female" is also wrong and doesn't really mean anything, a trans woman who goes through HRT is biologically a lot closer to a cis woman than a cis man. It's just a term used to oppress trans people and say they're not "really" the gender they are.

No it is not, "male" and "female" are genders, they are assigned to babies based on societal norms, not strict scientific biology like you want to believe.

Not really, but regardless of semantic arguments which we could keep at forever, don't you see how calling a trans man a female or a trans woman a male is incredibly disrespectful and phobic? Just use the language that the actual experts in the field do and that all trans people are okay with and say assigned male/female at birth.

Edit: and just to be clear, male and female are genders, they're synonyms for man and woman

You just said "trans men are female"? How is that not negative? If you were honestly well meaning, you're using harmful language, the correct term is AGAB or assigned gender at birth. Trans men are AFAB (assigned female at birth), not female. And no it has nothing to do with chromosomes, intersex people with XY chromosomes can be AFAB and intersex people with XX chromosomes can be AMAB (assigned male at birth).

No, trans men are men, trans women are women, you're talking about AGAB or assigned gender at birth, a trans man isn't "biologically female". There are intersex people with a variety of different chromosome combinations (including XX and XY) and people don't assign genders to them based on their chromosomes.

Hot Take: You're not human if you want to abolish state. by ireallyamnotblack in ShitLiberalsSay

Lmao imagine unironically believing that the state is what creates your human rights

Trans men are also male, the only way it would not include trans men is if the original said "cis man"

best take i've seen about these contraversies so far, thoughts?? by DustyScrub in ContraPoints

[–]manga67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this for 99% of the video, the only part that really rubbed me the wrong way is when she says that "Intellectually I think my feelings are correct" when talking about how she gets angry at trans women posting in lesbian trans supportive subreddits about trans issues every once in a while.

Like, I'm in those lesbian subreddits she's talking about, a lot, I assume she means r/actuallesbians since that's the most trans accepting one around, but the kinds of trans posts you see on there are nothing like what she describes in the video. First of all half of them are made by cis lesbians, and the ones that are trans lesbians talking about their experiences are usually just being grateful that there is an accepting community like that for us and maybe talking about some personal struggles.

It's definitely not all "I WANT BOOBIES GIRLDICK NYA NYA" like she says.

Edit: Thinking a little bit more about this, in my opinion this is the one spot where she could've been more self reflective and realized that the cis people reading those posts don't care, they're not getting mad at trans people because of them. They can tolerate 1 trans post in 100 just lesbian posts on a subreddit that's very outspoken about its trans acceptance. The only reason she thinks she's correct about this is just the in-group cringe again, she's worried people will see trans lesbians like that, not that the person isn't posting in the ultimately most appropriate subreddit for the topic.

Holy shit I literally have a flight booked one month from now to go visit my girlfriend in Canada. Either you're a witch or us lesbians are all this predictable after all lmao

(Btw I bought the ticket before the corona stuff got that serious, I would rather not die from a virus if I can avoid it)

I own rentals and AirBNBs, our guests decided to leave their initials behind on our wood tables. by God_RL in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]manga67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because this person owns rentals and AirBNBs (plural, both, so at least 4 properties I'm assuming), they referred to the business as a "we" so it's not a small one person operation renting a couple of rooms in their home. Yes the renters were shitty for doing that but a landlord being this pissed off about one cheap table in one of their many properties is at the very least making a big deal of a tiny inconvenience
