@Mangu_baby@stefisgirlnow They are misinterpreting what Aella is saying too. Aella isn't saying that trans women cluster with cis men and trans men cluster with cis women. She's actively explaining that they don't overlap at all.
But trans misogynists aren't know to be very bright
@Samantha8182 It's 72% for "Transgender people should be protected from discrimination". Online fills you with brainworms making it feel like it's less
@datadriven_tdoc@ramendik The 80% refers to "of gender diverse offenders with sexual offence histories were trans-women". It's not saying 80% of trans women in prison committed sexual offences
@RayAlexWilliams It's the separationist/segregationist language of "third thing", mostly. Like it makes total sense that trans woman and trans men would correlate with their respective groups, since they all have similar shared experiences and upbringings, which are very different from cis ones
@touchgrasstom@Aella_Girl@stefisgirlnow The transphobes follow her like little flies. It's creepy.
Aella doesn't agree with any of them either, but transphobes were never the brightest
@qlddemocracyfan@Aella_Girl@stefisgirlnow Basically that "what is a woman" is a cluster of traits and that it various a lot on the individual, some of which, do include trans women. And advocates for people to treat trans people as their preferred gender regardless of how much they overlap with their cluster of traits
@Aella_Girl@stefisgirlnow Then there's value having demographics that seperate cis people with trans people, that makes sense. The issue is the segregationist language of "third thing", that's all
@DiamondEyesFox@stefisgirlnow@Aella_Girl That could be true for any demographic though. Especially for those with shared experiences/culture. Sectioning off black people would be racist. Sectioning off trans people would be transphobic. Why not just obtain demographic data and allow people to interpret it without bias?
@mae_honk@HonBeast0@polypocketknife Under TERF standards, I think you're right... soo many cis woman are also being affected by these misogynistic beauty standards
@autumnrain80 The worst pain area is around the lips, but getting rid of the 5-o'clock shadow helps SOOO much. It's just a shame you have to do it over... and over... and over...
@f4nged_@AdaBarx@DesiresAreGrey The problem is society often doesn't see us as boys growing up. Trans woman are consistently "othered" because they don't properly adhere to gender roles and they're admonished for it. The core of it is always misogyny, because society treats femininity and woman as lesser
@Willowfoxxo Instant! I think it mostly relief knowing I was actively stopping the masculinization. Other mental changes took a week or two. Physical took a long time though
@polypocketknife I did do this
But I think you mean like in terms of ONLY relying on HRT and doing literally nothing else? In which case, I agree! A lot of small things add up
