TiM: "I am a biologically entity and I am female, therefore I am biologically female" there is no arguing with this level of batshit insanity

The ONE consistent thing I see across all of trans ideology is that breasts are female and an indicator of womanhood. Transwomen want 'em. Transmen can't wait to get rid of 'em.

The rest of seems to be hit or miss. The uterus, ovaries, penis, and balls, those may cause dysphoria, they may be referred to as a a female penis or male cervix, it's anyone's call.

But breasts...those are obviously female and female only gxrls!

I'm choosing to blame generations of cartoon animals with breasts.

Because guys with moobs aren't a thing and women who have had mastectomies due to medical reasons clearly aren't women anymore... Let alone women with a naturally flat chest!

I wear a 38A, do powerlifting, and am a STEMnerd. I should just transition already. /s

Huh? Gynecomastia - the medical condition whereby males experience significant development of the breasts, aka moobs - is extremely common, affecting 30% of males worldwide at some point during their lifetime. Whether it gets over-developed or not, all males still have breast tissue; and a tiny percentage of males will contract breast cancer.

You might wanna look gynecomastia up, and do an image search too.

As to the notion that using such terms as "female penis" and "male cervix" is "anyone's call," I beg to disagree. These are inaccurate terms, and it's damaging and potentially dangerous to use them.

For males and females alike, knowing and using the proper names for all our body parts is essential for self-esteem and a healthy body-image, which is one of the reasons learning all the names of our body parts is one of the first things kids are taught. It's also key to maintaining good health and hygiene; to being able to describe symptoms of health problems, and thus obtain proper medical care and accurate diagnoses; to having relationships with other people; to participating in athletics and many games; to learning and doing many skills; to caring for others; and even to adhering to the tenets of many religions (ablutions and all).

Words have commonly-understood and agreed upon meanings, and our body parts have specific names. It's not "anyone's call" to start claiming penises are female and cervixes are male, just as it's not anyone's call to redefine "woman" as "anyone who feels like or identifies as a woman" or "anyone who performs femininity."

To be clear I am saying that that TRAs are consistent that breasts are for women only, not that I think breast are only for women. I am very aware of gynecomastia, male breast cancer etc. and of course I do not use ridiculous terminology such as "female penis" in my own language.

What I am pointing out is this irony: Breasts, which are things that both men an women have, seem to be things that TRAs view as being a female-only body part.

Parts of anatomy such as genitals, which most of us recognize as being distinctly a part of one sex class or another, are viewed by TRAs as part of any sex class.

Gotcha. Irony, satire, tongue-in-cheek often are not so easily discerned on social media. I made a post yesterday that I thought was clearly satirical and facetious, but it was taken seriously, at face value.

My apologies for not realizing your intent.

By the way, I love this community because we can just work to understand each other here. So different than Reddit where everyone's got an axe to grind. I've been appreciating your other posts where you talk about different DSDs.

And yet so many fat men have moobs.

It's a strange cognitive dissonance... There are men with huge moobs who don't wear a bra, or even an undershirt. But there are girls with little boobs who don't need a bra but wear one.
