i understand where op was coming from but all she’s doing is alienating trans women by saying they can’t relate to us tbh. like yes they will never have those exact issues but i don’t think i have ever seen anyone claim to?? even the example she brought up, the trans woman was just relating to one symptom of pcos which is valid.

If people stopped judging ALL women on whether they meet some beauty standard or physical trait, it would benefit cis and trans women. It’s so odd to pit them against each other. The real villain of the story is people out there who can’t simply see a woman’s face, arms, etc with more hair than average and go on with their lives without judging them. Women with PCOS and trans women want the same thing in that scenario.

Yeah, this could’ve been a really interesting discussion. OP‘s comment said that the friend was not claiming to have PCOS, but was complaining about a shared problem (having more hair than expected as a woman, basically).

Some ppl r so sensitive like go touch grass and interact with real trans ppl. It pisses me off when ppl see shit online n then act like it’s the standard bc they saw one or two ppl saying or doing something. Like how do ppl still not know that the internet isn’t real life. Also this topic was such an unnecessary non issue. I fr don’t get what the OP was so pissed abt since the girl never even claimed to have PCOS

I mean I understand where they are coming from since those are biological issues based I’m anatomy. And symptoms are not the same as the physical thing. Anyone can have those kinds of symptoms transgender or not bc cramping is not solely a woman thing. I think there’s just nuance to it. Ofc it’s not a common issue spread around but it does happen otherwise ppl wouldn’t need to speak on it
