What's the deal guys?

[shadesOfTeal]

I don't think this post is going to last long but what's the deal with hating trans women so much? I've been a women for 13 years of my life since 18 and it's never been a problem. Suddenly I'm not only talk of the town but also an evil man stealing everyone's rights away from them? I wasn't much of a boy as a kid anyway but. I just wanted to ask like what's the deal? Why do you hate the idea of me existing so much? What have I personally done to you that's been so bad? I feel like I need to be careful with my words because it'll be easy to accuse me of all sorts but I've done no harm to anyone. If you want to ask a trans woman some honest questions then please do, I don't usually talk about it in my day to day life and that, I'm pretty down to earth and will help you understand as much as possible. But I'd like to ask the people that hate me so much, can we ever get along? Please don't assume I'm what the internet and the media says I am though, I'm not like that at all! I just want us all to get on and I'm sick of having my life debated every 5 minutes.

You can't see me right now, but I am shrugging. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Again. No they aren't,

They are.

They are not female breasts.

No male person can have a female reproductive system and will never have the functionality of a female breast when it comes to having an interactive feeding system that allows the individual tailoring of milk for an infant's needs.

If any medical professional is treating a male person's breasts as though they were 'female' breasts, they are probably not doing a good job.

And every medic knows you’re a man. HTH

No you haven't changed your sex, 1post; it is not possible! Changing 'gender' is the more usual term.
Your mum should know.
You protest too much - perhaps you should have stuck to your name?

It is true that O and E are on opposite sides of the key board
In theory, this would would mean you don't have to strain using both hands to type.
(My hands are arthritic, so helps me a little)

Ooo yeppie

Now moved fully into the look what you made me do stage of the car crash

Same here. The medical advice and evidence is fairly clear that Oestrogen HRT, coupled with T blockers / Sex Reassignment Surgery drops my risk down to near enough zero that it's nothing to worry about.

I understand my body more than you do.

Hush, people have exercised massive restraint about that.

So far.

Gender wasn't a thing when I went through the process. It was 'sex.'

My mum knows I'm a woman and loves me for who I am

she loves you, but gave birth to a son and knows it

Yes dear.

Sure.

But you don't understand how female bodies work.

Then your mum is telling big fibs, one cannot know something that is not true
Or just cos they love you

They literally are. People assigned male at birth and female at birth aren't some different species. We're all female originally before the Y chromosome kicks in. It's why Oestrogen Hrt In trans women even does anything at all.

It's genuinely nice that she loves you for who you are.

We're all female originally before the Y chromosome kicks in.

This is absolutely incorrect.

ETA:

Embryos start off in an undifferentiated state in the earliest stage of development.

Therefore, the claim that “all fetuses begin as female” can only be true if undifferentiated gonads and undifferentiated genitalia are equivalent to being female. But being female involves a specific path of development: the gonads differentiating into ovaries, and the Mullerian duct differentiating into the oviducts, uterus, and vagina for mammals. Female development does not mean undifferentiated. For us all to begin as female on a physical level, we would have to develop ovaries and female genitalia first. Then to make a male, ovaries would transform into testes. And the female genitalia would transform into male genitalia. But this is not what happens. Instead, our reproductive system begins in a bipotential state, and then we differentiate along either the male or female pathway.

"We're all female originally before the Y chromosome kicks in"

This is misinformation and it is false.

An undifferentiated embryo is still male or female. Just looking the same as a female embryo doesn't make a male embryo 'female'. Sex is determined at conception and is coded in the sperm.

Stop repeating falsehoods

Maybe this will help

Oh dear- sex is not 'assigned' at birth ffs
I thought this language had gone out of use!!!!!

We're all female originally before the Y chromosome kicks in

This isn't true. Don't believe everything you're told!

Whoops, double post!

Sunshine you have still have a risk of prostate cancer because you are a male with a prostate. Any reduction of a male hormone would only slow the cancer down.

You have a higher than the average male risk of breast cancer because you are taking a drug which has side effects.

You have male breast tissue because all males have breast tissue.

HtH

No one is saying that these post op men (who identify as women) have not modified their bodies. They clearly have.

No one is saying that they have not reduced their risk of developing prostate cancer by taking cross sex hormones. They statistically have.

What we are saying is that these men have not changed sex.

Castration, vaginoplasty, facial feminisation surgery, breast growth caused by cross sex hormones, breast implants, etc. does not stop these individuals being male.

These male people have vast experience in being a man (who identifies as a woman) with body modification.

He has no experience of being female.
