Ask a transgender woman anything (part 2)

[krag hag]

This is not a debate thread!

It's been a while since the last thread, there have been some major changes, so I felt it's time for a new one.

If you have any questions about transgenderism or what it's like to be transgender you can ask them here! provided they're respectful of course.

Just like last time, I won't respond to bait or insults.

the point is, men have bigger skeletons, generally bigger feet, wider shoulders. Do you not think it would be strange meeting a women with hands like shovels.

Where trans is concerned, i think you can make a man look like a women, but he will never be a real women, because of DNA and skeleton. If they did a DNA test on a trans women, it would come back as a man, so imo it is a man.

It's not just bigger skeletons it's bone density-which is something that is different with long term hormone usage and it's shapes/weight of the bones. A male skull is actually heavier then a female skull and there's also notable differences in the pelvic bones.

-An entire month dedicated to celebration of LGQBT including trans.

I'm not sure if I would call that a privilege but it's a positive thing for sure

Ursprungligen skrivet av Snow ☯:

-Most streaming services have entire genre dedicated towards pushing trans/LGQBT voices.

I don't think this benefits any LGBT person

Ursprungligen skrivet av Snow ☯:

-Big tech adoption of pronoun usage.

Pronouns are used by everybody, not just transgender people. The ability to add your preferred pronouns to you social media profiles benefits both cis and trans people

Ursprungligen skrivet av Snow ☯:

-Certain laws for instance in California medical professionals can be JAILED for not using preferred pronouns.

I'm not sure to what extent this is true, but medical professionals definitely should use someone's preferred pronouns regardless of their own political views

Ursprungligen skrivet av Snow ☯:

-And at least in America there's a heavy favorability of the trans-community.

That's just not true, right wing media demonizes the transgender community any chance they get, and fail to denounce any violence committed against us. The handful of liberals calling themselves allies but not doing anything to prevent violence don't cancel that out.

Ursprungligen skrivet av Snow ☯:

-The fact that everyone else is expected to not only use your preferred pronouns but expected to modify their own pronouns for instance many "cis" people view "cis" as a slur.

Cis and trans aren't pronouns. They're adjectives, just like black, white, straight, gay, etc. They're not slurs nor are they meant that way.

I believe biological sex and gender identity, while intertwined, are separate. My DNA doesn't make a difference in how I feel and express myself.

I like to tie my shirts with a single loop knot on the side, it's easy to do and does the job

I wonder what you mean by change, You mean the forum has changed? Or the discourse has changed? Looks just as awful to me as it did a year ago.

My situation has changed, I've changed my legal name and sex, got diagnosed with gender dysphoria and have started using hormones

So despite seeing all that privilege you reject all of and are going to pretend like none of it is a privilege?

Medical professionals can literally go to jail because because they don't agree with trans-folk and that's not a privilege?
