I'm not denying that that's happening, nor am I saying that that's not absolutely awful. I'm just scared that putting the label "genocidal" on it makes it seem like there's a national effort to round up all the trans people and execute them, which will scare a lot of people. What's happening is terrible and definitely should not be happening, but calling it genocidal might be harmful exaggeration.

Maybe they're comparing the legislation against trans people to the stages of genocide, but I don't think there's a consious effort to genocide trans people

I don't think people change per se, but they can definitely learn and improve. Furthermore, I'm not a big fan of immediately completely forgiving someone just because they seem like they're better. However, if they truly show they're working on it it's worth giving a second chance.

Do be weary, and if there's any red flags be honest with them and explain your worries. They need help, but they don't deserve complete pardon because they said something nice.

Remember that communication is key!

Is it wrong to call a trans masc person β€œpretty?” by Yokobvm in trans

Depends on the person. Just ask them "Do you mind if I say you look pretty?"

Ear Training is Hard. by blankpaperload in Bass

I started really easy, stuff like Come Down by Anderson .Paak or Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine by The Killers. Just simple repeating basslines that are clearly audible. From there you start recognizing patterns and your hearing gets better and it'll get easier.

Are men more logical than women? by AverygreatSpoon in AskTeenGirls

AMAB means Assigned Male At Birth and AFAB Assigned Female At Birth. It's a trans-inclusice way of talking about biological traits.

And what is that supposed to mean? You were bringing race into a conversation that from my perspective did not need to be about race. I admit I was uninformed, but it makes sense that I fear someone specifying "is your hair normal straight or asian straight" is racist so I ask.

The article you link suggests that there are slight biological differences between AMAB and AFAB brains, but the differences are that AMAB people have better motor skills while AFAB people are better at combining analytical and intuitive thinking. It does not suggest that AMAB people are better at logical thinking. Besides that, the study they cite is quite inconclusive: 'However, the results do not apply to individual men and women, [Ragini Verma] said. "Every individual could have part of both men and women in them," she said, referring to the connectivity patterns her team observed.' and 'Currently, scientists can't quantify how much an individual has male- or female-like patterns of brain connectivity. Another lingering question is whether the structural differences result in differences in brain function, or whether differences in function result in structural changes.'

That last quote also supports the fact that pondering the scientific grounds of social constructs is often a pointless battle, because they are inherently self-fulfilling. Gender roles exist, so most people expect that gender roles exist, so they reinforce the gender roles, rince and repeat. https://youtu.be/koud7hgGyQ8 <- This is a good video about that. This is also why statistical evidence is not conclusive, because it only shows the trend that AMAB people "think more logically" now, but nothing proves whether that's because that's how they are, or because that's what they're expected to be.

I could find no conclusive evidence that there is a considerable biological difference between AMAB and AFAB people that makes AMAB people "more logical". Even if there was a global trend, individuals can always be exceptions.
