You didn’t answer my questions

You're right. I answered most, but forgot the rest of the questions.

Why do so many males perpetuate ideas like estrogen use making them less intelligent, more emotional, and bad drivers?

Why do so many GCs perpetuate the idea that testosterone makes trans men more violent? Here are some Ovarit comments to prove it.

No, FTMs really are this repulsive and aggressive sometimes. Testosterone makes them fucking insane, IME. … FTMs are violent pieces of shit exactly like men. Testosterone turns them into literal monsters.

You do get a little boost in endogenous T and it does make you a little hornier, aggressive, oilier, and zitty-er ha ha.

You think side effects that doctors warn them about are the same thing as men saying estrogen made them bad at maths?

Do you not see how one is a claim of an effect on mood and one is a claim of different cognitive abilities?

It’s known that hormones effect mood. It’s been observed for a long time. There is no evidence or reasonable cause to suspect that that estrogen alters ones ability to perform arithmetic.

You still did not answer and instead asked a question that’s not related to my question. Is this deliberate or what?

In this case they weren't talking about the side effects that doctors warn about. They took examples of trans men being aggressive/violent and concluded it's the testosterone.

I have never heard any man say estrogen makes them bad at maths. All cis men have some estrogen, and all cis women have some testosterone.

However, there is a huge prejudice against women in math from all genders.

Both Genders Think Women Are Bad at Basic Math

You don’t need to have seen it for me to have seen it all over Reddit. Again, aggression is a side effect they are warned about prior to taking it. It’s a reasonable conclusion to draw.

What is it about directly answering questions that you hate so much you won’t do it?

If you have seen it all over Reddit, provide links and examples. What subs can you easily find content like this because I haven't seen it in the subs I browse.

Lol all the main trans ones.

It has to be deliberate the way you don’t answer questions. Nobody could be that oblivious

I browse the main trans subs regularly and haven't seen that. Link to specific posts or comments, or repost the exact comments so I can search them up.

You won’t answer questions with anything but ‘they don’t’ ‘I don’t think they do’ but expect me to browse through 800 pages of bullshit to prove to you that a sexist ideology says sexist things?

[–]GenderbenderShe/her/hers 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (35 children)

Transgenderism is not a sexist ideology. When I made my claims, I provided examples of word-for-word comments you can Google in quotes to find. Why can't you do the same?
