@chesburgr_ This is also a super unrealistic standard to hold yourself to, almost no cis woman looks like this so don't expect yourself to. It gets easier with time, try not to be so hard on yourself.
@Naeluckmate@FuzzInvasion@ChrisSosa The nonresponse rate of this new study is comparable to rates seen in most medical survey studies. Nor is there a specific nonresponse rate that would make all data obtained unscientific. I really don't think you understand data analysis that well
@chester_fence@mboorstein "if you transition as a minor, you don't go through puberty"?? 16 and 17 year olds are well into the tail end of puberty dude what are you even saying
@villainsenjoyer I hate this misogynistic idea of an idealized "afab childhood" that's somehow an easy mode compared to an amab childhood. Just completely generalizes the experience of boys and girls into inherently different categories and ignores how different individuals experiences are.
@faeriequeeneee@charlessha94517@KaskaJessica "I think one person regretting that should make removing healthy body parts illegal" are you retarded or do you just genuinely hate bodily autonomy that much? Should breast reductions be illegal because some women regret them? Hysterectomies? Use your brain
@patriotpolecat@Supremecom4der@diemoder An increase in rate of regret after increasing access is expected and not concerning unless massive. Can you please link the study you're referring to that shows a concerningly large rate of explicit regret after HRT?
@patriotpolecat@Supremecom4der@diemoder Your whole argument ignores the many trans people that did DIY hormones in the past, and still do today. Official prescriptions weren't even the primary route before widespread medical acceptance, and DIY is still the main path for third worlders today.
@KN_Yorya find it funny people imagine testosterone and estrogen as
"T = good for men bad for women" and "E = good for women bad for men" as if everyone doesn't have a varying healthy hormonal balance and that having 0 of one and a lot of the other means you are the pinnacle of your gender
@azumanfan I think it's usually misdirected jealousy and envy. Envy for being born female, and the relative ease of passing after testosterone, and the comparatively less permanent puberty. Doesn't excuse treating trans men poorly, that's just my speculation on why.
@patriotpolecat@diemoder Exactly. This self-hatred and dysphoria is how trans people feel about their bodies pre-transition. Her desire to look like a normal woman is exactly how trans women feel and can be treated with gender affirming care. Her only permanent issue is from not binding safely.
@SebazSebaz87227@diemoder detrans is a minority within the minority of trans. They're a fraction of a fraction. Much smaller total than the trans fraction.
@Yaboi_Juju@roseapplesunset@over4ayanocels In female-dominated spaces, women don't treat the few men nearly as poorly as men treat women in male-dominated spaces. Think of animal crossing fans vs GTA online. I think it's fair to expect an equal level of respect and not treat people different because of their gender.
