I would suggest that there isn’t a real difference between fighting and beating from a “is this violence” perspective.

As to the second, I don’t know.

There’s a huge difference and it’s a huge tell that you won’t answer the question lmao

When it comes to whether it’s an act of violence there isn’t. It’s less cruel perhaps or more fair since in a fight the aggressor is getting hit as well but that’s more about circumstance that intention isn’t it?

And I didn’t answer the second because I don’t know. I don’t know much about trans men other than I support them as fellow trans people but fundamentally cannot understanding wanting to be masculine.

I swear the leaps your brain takes make no sense. You can pretend that people don’t know that transmen are not prone to rape and may get more aggressive but not abusive even tho someone literally answered this on this post.

I’m asking you if you had a tendency for fighting a person who actively fought you back, or if you just had a habit of beating the shit out of someone who did nothing but take the beating.

A fight is two (or more) people throwing blows, a beating is one person receiving the blows while one person (or more I suppose) throws them. So which did you do?

Intent is similar, tho beatings usually are done to people you know won’t/can’t fight back (see how fight back implies they are fighting?) why do you always skirt around direct questions? Did you fight people, or did you beat them?

The the answer to your question is fighting people who fought back. Actually I used to goad other people into taking the first punch so it was less likely I would get in trouble. I would never have hurt someone who wouldn’t fight back, if for no other reason than it was as much about punishing myself than hurting anyone else.

Sounds like that’s just how you were, and had nothing to do with testosterone, as a few people have addressed testosterone on this thread. Thank you for answering

Except the urge to engage in that behavior is gone since transitioning? The only biochemical difference is testosterone/estrogen. Or do you acknowledge that transition substantially improves mental health in some trans identified people?

I acknowledge that that is your personal experience. I also acknowledge what others have said about testosterone on this post.
