The effects of testosterone are responsible for the physical qualities that we typically think of as masculine, such as body hair.

Body hair is an ADULT trait, not a masculine trait.

Also, how fucking disingenuous is it for them to use an actual male in the photo?

If you're auditioning to sing backup for Aretha Franklin, then you're too late.

how dare you be able to recognize that a body is biologically male because you're obviously not living a life of delusion, HOW DARETH THEEEEEEEEEEE

Yikes. None of these "pass" because you can see that they've obviously had surgery / have scars. I don't think anyone is going to be fooled by that, honestly. (One of the patients even has a lesbian/double venus symbol tattoo, what even...?)

Also, word of warning: do NOT click on the "transwomen" gallery from this link if you're sensitive. It's very NSFW and NSFL.

I wish I could unsee it

I feel the same. I didn't know what "trans" was, when I learned what they meant by it and what they do to themselves, I just wished to dig a hole and bury myself in it because that would be the only way to unsee this "gender" mess. :(

Yeah. I mean, I believe adults can do whatever they want to their own bodies but see this stuff is still depressing to me.

Probably because growing up all I wanted was to be born a boy ‘so I could like girls’ and not be disgusting for it. With the amount of internalized homophobia I had and the amount of homophobia I had to take from others, I am 100% sure that if I was a teen now or gender ideology was a big thing back then in my country, I would be trans. That is very sad. I can imagine other girls going through the same things and instead of challenging homophobia/sex roles and treat their dysphoria/misogyny/homophobia they want to conform to it.

[–]GarageCar[S] 14 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 0 fun15 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I went through the same thing as you so I totally get you. I was an 11 year old girl, that was when I started being attracted to girls, before that age I wasn't attracted to anyone really. I was just a nerd who people jokingly said "was married to her books". And in my homophobic country I thought I was a boy for being attracted to girls ... that thought process was disgusting, I was being homophobic and wrong. Very wrong.

I'm just so happy that when I sat down and told my sisters (who turned out to be lesbians themselves) about my disgusting thoughts at the age of 13, they knocked sense into me. It helped they studied biology in school too, so they wouldn't buy the "girl in a boy's body" or "boy in a girl's body" bs. They told me no matter what I do I'm a girl and can never be a boy so I should "get my shit together" and accept it. And I did.

If they weren't against this gender belief themselves, who knows what I would have done to myself, I would probably have done surgery and hormones. I was being a homophobic idiot and my sisters changed me for the better. Everyday I thank them for not letting me drown in the trans bs.

Excuse the rant, I just really really dislike what these trans people stand for.

My god, I'm currently studying biology too and some of my classmates are the biggest sjws/activists/TRAs ever, the cringe is insane

Do the schools actually have "woke biology" now? Please tell me the textbooks still use the words man and woman and not "people who menstruate" or whatever? You'd think a good biology course might cure a TRA of his delusions.

I'm living in Southeast Asia and it's pretty conservative over here, so our textbooks are unscathed thank the lord, but I'm not too sure about the woke-r countries in the west. It's my classmates that's the problem though, quite a few of them buy into the whole gender ideology and are online activists.

reduce the “hourglass” shape that is a defining female characteristic

Defining, hm? Then I guess that means I’m not a woman. Oops, my mistake.

[–]GarageCar[S] 12 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 0 fun13 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I don't have a hourglass shape either, doesn't make me less of a woman. "Trans men" and "trans women" are uh, what's the word, deranged?. They think a woman that doesn't have big boobs and an hourglass body like those models do is not a woman, which I think is why they think by cutting their boobs they stop being women. Do they realize making the hourglass shape a defining female characteristic has negative outcomes? So many women have gone on strict diets and developed "eating disorders" just to get close to an "hourglass" shape and when they failed they got depressed and thought they are not "real women"...

[–]lovelyspearmintLesbeing a lesbian 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You're either born with an hourglass shape or you aren't. It's similar to that thigh gap fad from a few years ago. It really depends on what your body is meant to look like, it can't be forced.

I actually find this question mildly interesting. For a different example, on average—all other things being equal—men are usually taller than women, even though there are plenty of counter-examples. This doesn't make being tall a "masculine trait" and it doesn't mean a tall female has "a male height." But there is some connection there, regarding, like... statistical frequency, I guess? I'm not quite sure how to talk about that without being all weird and gender-y, but also without feigning ignorance.

I'm pretty sure I've been able to spot all of them by face pic on Grindr. There are rare celebrity examples which look good but that basically requires good genetics + tons of money + probably makeup and a graphics artist.

Good luck if they forget to take their hormones a few times...

Like most things in life if you just throw money at the problem at lot of the surgeries can be very convincing.

However your average trans person doesn't (and shouldn't be given) hundreds of thousands of dollars to have surgeries.

Funny how they use a stock image of what I can only assume is a cis man to sell trans men on plastic surgery.

A young cisman in pretty good shape too. These people are just selling lies.
