Low T won't save you as Hegseth wants to inject soldiers with T. Being trans also won't save you as they will happily change their tune on the trans military ban during a draft as an excuse to throw trans women into the meat grinder.

Calling a man gay or effeminate in a derogatory way is not misandry. That's homophobia and/or misogyny. Misandry isn't a real thing just like heterophobia and reverse racism isn't a thing.

We should definitely advocate against suicide but I don't think saying life is a prison and suicide is an escape is a good metaphor. Because it's very reasonable to want to escape a prison. Just my two cents

There may be a handful of trans women who've gotten good jobs pre-transitipn but they are less likely to keep them during transition. Also trans women make less then cis women on average. To say trans women have an advantage over cis women is just transmisogyny

It's often not very useful for healthcare professionals to know your agab. In many cases it's used to discriminate against us and misdiagnose us (if you've heard the term "trans broken arm syndrome" then you know what I mean) If I need a prostate exam, the doc can know I'm a woman who has a prostate. But there's no need to use an inaccurate and bigoted term like "biological male".

One of the worst things about the "male socialized" or "biological male" dog whistles is that it's used to treat transfems as having all the worst traits associated with men but none of the privileges. We can be accused of being aggressive, predatory, violent, etc. But we are never get taken seriously like men do, never get the benefit of the doubt, and certainly don't benefit materially like they do. Men don't get discriminated against for employment or housing like we do, men make a ton more money than we do. In fact trans women make less than cis women do on average. Also transfems are the only group that are systemically sex trafficked by the government (look up v-coding)

A penis is a phallus similar to a clitoris and the effects of hrt alter the body significantly. Trans women are biologically female. To say otherwise not only harms transfems it also otherises intersex people or anyone who doesn't meet the intersexist , transphobic and white supremacist vision of what it means to be a Real Woman TM.

Attributing these behaviors to "male socialization" let's people off the hook for their actions. This person may be weaponizing their masculine presentation to talk over and intimidate people but that's just not doable for trans women. You know who can and does do that? Trans men. I've regularly seen trans men do exactly as you described, but no one would say they're "male socialized". Trans men do that cause they're men and know they can benefit from it. So it's frankly just not an accurate way to describe this behavior AND it's a transmisogynistic dog whistle.

No it does. Men with a degree of power will on average react very poorly to being corrected, especially by women. If a woman mod did this she would likely catch a lot more flack for it and be removed as a mod.

That's actually really gross and an erasure of trans people from history. There are a lot of cases now and throughout history of trans people unable to come out but have personal records or accounts from those close to them detailing how they felt about themselves. Saying we shouldn't suggest anyone who was never out was trans isn't just taking an unbiased stance, trans people are deliberately and systemically pressured from not coming out and there's cases of trans people who were out who have their identities erased postmortem. So contributing to that feels at best like giving up ground to people who want us dead and erased.

I believe that's in reference to a clip of a streamer saying that repeatedly. It's not supposed to make sense I think.

Not entirely? Like class is important but the fact is that women get punished more often for having their sex lives leaked than predatory men do.
