I see more misogyny and more vitriol against women from women transphobes than I do from even a lot of shitty men. Womanhood is not a damn monolith. We are all different and unique and our paths through and to womanhood are as unique as we are. All you do in dismissing other women is hurt ALL of us.

Actually talk to trans and intersex women and learn something about your own biases and vitriol. Hell, talk to butch women too, and do and BE better.

Not all cis women have periods or even a uterus. No two women are the same and none of us are a monolith.

it’s a complex topic, if you want an answer that isnt super simplified then look up “trevor project ally to trans people” & read that first article. it covers it pretty well.

But how is this not a form of body dysmorphia? People who think they are overweight and become sickly thin see themselves in a different body. And it’s considered a severe mental illnesses and everyone agrees they need help. How is this different?

It is, it’s called gender dysphoria. The only reliable treatment is transitioning. Almost none of actually us want this, it’s just better than the untreated alternative.

For centuries therapy has been attempted as a treatment, like with body dysmorphia, and it proves to not work for the vast majority of patients, it just makes it worse. Unlike many other conditions, gender dysphoria is most likely caused by hormonal imbalance at the wrong moment in the womb leading to abnormal brain development. Therefore the condition doesn’t fully go away, the symptoms can only ever be eased.

But what about all the complications that come from transitioning? I’ve heard many stories about issues involving the throat due to changes that are not supported by the body, not to mention complications involving bottom surgery? Why is that the best option when it can cause much damage to one’s health and cause long term consequences

Anonymous #17 12w

I’ve never heard of medical complications involving bottom surgery, it has one of the smallest regret rates. there’s multiple types though, maybe you’ve seen one about a more niche procedure? and I’ve never heard of complications with the throat outside of surgery on the vocal cords, which generally isnt recommended within the community

There is absolutely not a single form of healthcare that comes without regret or complication at some point or another. Transition related healthcare has one of, if not the lowest, the least amount of regrets. Less than heart surgery, less than tattoos, less than marriage even. Transition care has improved significantly in the last few decades and revisions are often an option, and techniques have developed really well.

Just because there are some who regret or have issue doesn’t mean the care is ineffective or should be banned. Otherwise, every medical intervention should be banned. There are those who regret even the most life-saving, emergency surgeries. Heart, lung, brain, kidney, etc.

The only complication is loss of fertility and common issues that can come with any surgery. Not sure what you’re talking about with the throat.

Female to male hormone therapy causes the larynx to enlarge causing strain on the vocal cords, which is problematic to many, especially singers and can be more of an issue for some than others

I’ve heard of that being super minor and temporary pain, though. it’s just puberty again, meaning it’s probably just growing pains. not a concerning side effect afaik

That’s called a voice drop, which is like kinda the objective of taking testosterone for most that do and it also happens naturally to about half the population

That can happen to all surgeries, a qualified surgeon can prevent it from happening 99% of the time. Not a complication to be expected and most people who get it can have it remedied.

I hope you understand how it’s still harmful to perpetuate the idea that women are only women when they have functioning/present female organs at birth.

Hm, I guess I don’t. Despite recent debate in past years, I’m not really under the impression that you can escape what you’re born with. I get that gender is how people express themselves, but sex is what defines you biologically, no?

Anonymous #19 12w

Here’s an anecdote: I’m intersex. I’m infertile, don’t get periods, and have much more natural testosterone than the average cis woman (likely on the lower end of normal t levels for cis men). At its core, it doesn’t bother me, but what does bother me is the idea that I’m less of a woman because I wasn’t born with the same biological traits you’re talking about.

It also reduces womanhood to our ability to procreate, which feels like a slippery slope to me.

Anonymous #20 12w

Yeah, I guess I can get where you’re coming from. So biology aside, is your womanhood based on like, your appearance?
