I've decided to share my detransition story so that other people might benefit from it and not be harmed by transgender healthcare in the way that I was. My hope is with stories like mine the standard for trans healthcare may improve and people will be treated properly. 🧵

@EmilyPiperxx It's a little more complicated than that. I think there is always a fear of not being deemed worthy. Men hang an awful lot of their worth on what women think of them, especially if they're in the stage of life where they see women as supernatural. It's worsened by modern culture.

@ansonmount Damn toasters.

@lizisamused They probably just want to get romantic with you. Disagreement cuts that off.

[UniquelyDefined🦎 @DefinedUniquely]

@CrowTenguFan No one is going to believe me, but as far as that ethnic face goes, the left is more masculine. I had a best guy friend who looked just like that.

[UniquelyDefined🦎 @DefinedUniquely]

@lizisamused If you had joined with a male name, you'd have found out that at least as many women hate men. It's hard to get away from sexism these days. I wonder if it was ever better.

@foruyummy The only thing no one can take away is your soul.

@amick64 It requires empathy to understand. Some don't have that.

[Alicia M @amick64]

Women henpecking boys over their reading choices is not the way to help them empathize with women. I'm not sure why this is difficult to understand.

@kailahsangel @pallnandi If you study the history of the movement back to its foundation, you find this to be the recurrent theme.

@anxuanng @claudeai Thank God they community noted this. As a philosophy degree holder I was about to go off and write an essay. XD

[An Old Fashioned Girl @JaneAusten4ever]

With the "damsel in distress" trope, the man saves the woman because he cares about her, not about proving his masculinity.

The 'not a damsel in distress' trope is trite because it's about the woman proving her masculinity, not about caring about the man.

[UniquelyDefined🦎 @DefinedUniquely]

@JaneAusten4ever That's a very good point, and explains why it feels so performative and fake when the "not a damsel" trope comes up. Any time you notice it, it's because they forced it.

[Liz Is Amused @lizisamused]

If you shape how you treat the opposite sex based on your worst common denominator experiences... that's what you're gonna keep getting.

Boundaries? Good! But if you don't assume the best of people are out there, you'll never get them :/

[Emma Camp @emmma_camp_]

There's a double standard at the core of the "books for boys" discourse that's so severe yet unchallenged that it's making me feel crazy.

When mostly boys like a book, that means the book is bad/oppressive to girls. When mostly girls like a book, the fact that boys don't like it is proof that something is wrong with the boys.

[Henry Hill @HCH_Hill]

This is just generally the norm in education policy. If girls are behind, how do we fix the system; if boys are behind, how do we fix the boys.

@tinybird420 Trans woman here.

No, they're not.

@MrDoog22 @Onionfries73947 Can you name the gametes in between sperm and egg, then? What are they called? What do those gametes look like? How large are they compared to the male and female gametes? What research has been done on them? When were they discovered?

[Onionfries @Onionfries73947]

I am also not in between sexes. I have a disorder of sexual development and I know what my sex is. Having a disorder does not magically make me sexless, in between or a third sex.

[UniquelyDefined🦎 @DefinedUniquely]

@SandyofCthulhu Thank you for calling out this important inaccuracy!
