No no, see, that's the thing. I was arguing from ignorance. Actually, Hormone Replacement therapy and surgery is so destructively invasive that a trans-woman doesn't have the weight and strength advantage they normally would. It's what happens when your testosterone and family jewels are getting axed. Women still keep some of their testosterone, while trans-men don't keep hardly any at all.

That's the point. I, a straight white male who doesn't know the first thing of what being transgender is like, made assumptions that only sounded reasonable to someone who doesn't know any better. I hurt someone real bad due to how reckless I was.

I am on Day #310 of Spironolactone, which is used for us girls to block testosterone. Even cis girls use it! On Spironolactone we have massive muscle loss. Shoe sizes get smaller and some girls lose one to three inches off their height.

I can't lift a thing anymore. I need a big, strong man to do the heavy lifting now! ❤

Trans people should be imprisoned with their gender, not withe their AGAB.

There’s transgenders who have and have not undergone treatment and surgery, so I suppose the conversation is slightly different depending on which type you’re talking about. But males easily defeating females in sports where males that identify as women are allowed to participate seems to contradict this argument. Also, being a straight white male doesn’t mean you can’t have your own opinion on transgender topics. These things don’t only affect them, but the rest of society too. Whether or not males who identify as women have a strength advantage over females in terms of hypothetical rape scenarios is also not the only consideration with the whole intersex prison idea.

Whatever conversation you have, could you please have it via PMs? I'll greatly regret it if what I said accidentally sparked a multi-page long debate in a topic about something else entirely.

It's 'transgender people'. We do not do transgender, we are transgender.

Transitioning makes us no different from cis women. Our bodies become smaller and weaker to within the same range as cis women.

Cisgender people do not get to have their opinions catered to on the subject. The only work they have to do is to learn a new name and pronouns. All of the real work is done by the person transitioning. The idea that cisgender people get to have their opinions catered to is ridiculous.

We're not men, we're women. We are women.

Cisgender people rape one another all the time and so the idea of "a trans person is going to rape a cis person!" is so fucking ridiculous and insulting. It's bullshit meant to turn trans people into boogeymen and fear-monger.

Yeah, let's just focus on the topic at hand instead of turning into a transgender promotion centre. The whole topic is a bit misleading though since Levy himself didn't do a lot of composing for DBZ. Nonetheless, I am interested in how this will play out.
