Watch in real time as Trans Reddit turns on one of it's own for suggesting that maybe they are biological men and arguing they are not makes them look unstable.

😧What with this and the concept of hot cross buns with bacon, you are not improving the quality of my life this evening.

Honestly, try the hot cross bun and bacon combo. What’s not to like?!

Every time you think the depths of stupidity have been plumbed, the Mariana Trench of TRA 'science' gets deeper.

That's OK, Igneococcus is down there next to a submarine volcano and can tell them why they are wrong.

Nooo, raisins and meat shouldn't be on the same plate

Where do I start?

Am aware that this thread seems to have circled back to raisins (or sultanas?), though, so general apologies.

That reminds me of the ears song:

Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro,
Can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow;
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a regimental soldier;
Do your ears hang low?

Is that the sort of thing they mean? Grin

I'm wondering if that's a sanitised version of something bawdier and possibly used as a marching cadence...

<one quick trip to Wikipedia later>

Yes, yes it is.

If anyone ever actually changed "hormonal sex" they could stop the blockers and cross sex hormones and be 'ladies' thanks the female hormones they are now producing. But they don't, the suppress one set of hormones and overlay different ones.
It's like me claiming I'm a successful alchemist because I had some base metal on the table then I threw that in the bin and put some gold on the table. I haven't changed anything I need to carry on buying gold to keep 'performing' my amazing transformation because actually nothing has been transformed.

Thanks to our understanding of nuclear physics, it's more feasible to make gold from lead than it is to change sex.

What do female hormones do in a male body? Er, produce some chemically forced cosmetic changes largely, that will go away the moment the chemicals stop. But you cannot argue with the delusion.

I spent time in a waiting room this morning with a gentleman, over six foot in height, dressed as a schoolgirl. No one at all had any doubt of either his sex or his challenges.

I didn't read yesterday's frighteningly naive visitor as a man. Possibly a boy but equally possibly a girl, very unfamiliar with actual adult human bodies but steeped in online comics and other sources of misinformation.

It was like someone thinking Spiderman is an accurate scientific report of human arachnid interaction.

Did you just type a list of random words? Or are you claiming that biology is transphobic now? 😂😂😂

Having to have the last word is such a male trait

What if only one descends? Does that make you non-binary?
What if they go up and down randomly? - is that gender fluidity?

I so want them to make a ‘boing’ sound as they’re bouncing up and down!

If only - would make "a kick in the balls" a national sport, what larks

I think its someone young, too.

TRA has convinced lots of people that sex is little to do with our reproductive role. Sex is outwards appearance, hormones and feelings. They'll even say, "obviously i cannot become pregnant/get anyone pregnant" as if its a minor detail.

I think our visitors know how babies are made, just think that function is irrelevant to them. And if they are very young, probably isn't. But it contributes to the thinking that the changes that can be made are more significant than they are and can literally change their sex.

I had a little wander down some trans rabbit holes yesterday and there are many people trying to convince the reader that the whole thing is very straightforward ( sex 'change' things) Bearing in mind how easily convinced my own diagnosed autistic young adult is, what I see is a lot of grooming. All this talk of hate too. The language is very black and white/childlike. Either the writers are the young and gullible, or they are adults with a motive. It's terrifyingly. My guess is that we had one of each yesterday.

Helleofabore · 05/05/2026 09:20

I am not convinced that the visitor was young.

They said they had a child.

What seems to happen is that some people get just enough information to find something credible. Like the whole uterus transplant rabbit hole, or the its a vagina because someone can stick a penis into it.

Whoever they are, they are operating on sound bites being fed to them and a heap of other people and considering it is expert knowledge. Hence the demeaning and belittling that keeps coming such as 'how do you not know this' exclaimations.

Reader: we don't know 'this' because it was misinformation. We have already heard it, checked it and found it to be a falsity. Either completely false or a misrepresentation of the truth.

Kucinghitam · 05/05/2026 09:24

I didn't have any particular impression of the Righteous visitor's age.

I did however have a very strong impression of porn-addlement: "sexual stimulation" 🤢🤮

DrBlackbird · 05/05/2026 09:49

Just like how people born female can put medicines into the vagina for absorption, bottom surgery of a person born male also works.

I think that this poster might be referencing how vaginal estrogen can be delivered as a pessary re a medicine into the vagina? Or possibly lubricant? The latter could relate more to a neovagina though lubricant is not medicine. But neither remotely supports the claim that a neovagina ‘works’ like a vagina.

For this particular poster, I’d opt for achingly young and tragically susceptible trying to educate us. We cannot, however, blame these young people for their distorted beliefs. These vulnerable children and young people have been subjected to years of horrendous grooming. Not only by adults with a deeply unpleasant motive (and there are always been men with fetishes), but they have been repeatedly lied to by educational and healthcare so-called professionals. Those groups are absolutely culpable.

Helleofabore · 05/05/2026 09:56

I assumed so. Their point was that the vagina is a tube to stick things in and that was all they needed to know to equate it with an artificial cavity inserted into a male groin.

When you are told that near enough is good enough for acquiring the terminology to use terminology for something, including ‘woman’, there is no end to what you can label things and believe that is true. The destabilisation of language is important to make that work.

PeaceWhite · 05/05/2026 09:57

I agree with all your post @DrBlackbird

That was my best guess on the medicine. I rub Diclofenac sodium gel on my knees. They are not vaginas.

And despite that poor alien in The Undiscovered Country, or that time Trip Tucker got himself pregnant (or not, according to Phlox) by putting his hands in the same bowl as Ah'len, they are not going to be.

Helleofabore · 05/05/2026 10:06

I remember when Trip got pregnant. 😁

DeanElderberry · 05/05/2026 10:08

Got 'himself' pregnant as T'pol said, with utmost Vulcan disapproval.

DeanElderberry · 05/05/2026 10:09

I wish we'd had the next three seasons, and had never had that awful final episode of Season four.

Helleofabore · 05/05/2026 10:11

There were a few hit and miss episodes. I watched two episodes of the new series about the academy and I think we are done. They have jumped the shark!

DeanElderberry · 05/05/2026 10:16

None of the recent versions have worked for me. Could have done with some more Orville.
