Probably because trans "men" can actually pass.

That's because they pretty much are men and aren't mostly just playing dress-up like mtfs. Humans are female initially, and change during prenatal and pubescent development from hormones. You can always go forward with it but you can never go back.

Lol no. You are right in the sense that appearance and the like is largely effected by the presence of testosterone so FTM do tend to look more like men than FTM look like women. But they still aren't "pretty much men" they can't do the one thing men can do that women can't, you know, impregnate someone, since they are still women and lack the male reproductive system.

Humans aren't female initially either, your sex is determined at conception based on whether or not the sperm that inseminates the egg has an X or Y chromosome. It is true in the sense that the fetus will develop a largely feminine outward appearance should the male hormones not be present during development as can happen with some intersex conditions, but humans aren't female initially, only the outward appearance is one that is more female.

Prenatal and pubescent development is just different between the sexes but it's not this nonsense idea that humans are female initially that's retarded.

For all intents and purposes they are the same, save for sometimes reproductive organs. At the most extreme ends of this you have androgen insensitivity syndrome and XX male syndrome. I'm pretty sure the latter even has a functional reproductive system. A mtf cannot really accomplish these states because there are far too many permanent effects of male development. The permanent effects of female development are minimal and many do not appear until pregnancy. That's another difference, women get a lot more choice in going through these changes, they don't have to get pregnant if they don't want to. Men are forced into it whether they like it or not. Just the natural order.

The ability to even be able to get pregnant in the first place is the "permanent" effect of female development.

What? You went through puberty before pregnancy or something?Weird.

The rest of us only started menstruating and getting tits after the first baby. By the tenth baby you’ve developed into an entire woman and the penis falls off permanently.

Don't be silly all babies are born female but only the ones the patriarchy give the royal jelly to while incubating develop into queens.

It's MENstruating not WOMENstruating you bigot!

You evil cow you just actively ended lives by claiming men and women are not emotions.

Women can't go sterile afterwards? And I didn't say none did I?

Women can get a hysterectomy sure but that doesn't stop them from being women and magically make them essentially the same as men. I can't even begin to explain how fucking stupid it would be to call the capacity for pregnancy to be a minimal difference.

I gotta know what you think these differences are that only manifest after pregnancy, cause your understanding of human sex sounds fuckin hilarious.

Please go into maximum detail.

I love the r/ftm sub on reddit, bunch of crazy, fucked up women. They don't strike me as men at all. They think like women so they write like women.

[–]Vulptexghost fox girl ^w^ 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I don't consider genderfluid sparkle girls ftm, regardless of what they say. All they want is attention. Most of them don't even seek medical treatment, because they're happy with their female bodies, they only care about the gender role. I'm sorry they're sexists but that doesn't make them men just because they think women have to act a certain way.

Also, the writing style test can easily fail. People usually try to determine someone's sex based on which one they're more stereotypical of, and it's never accurate. People don't have the social pressures of gender behind an anonymous username. Your impression of /r/ftm is most likely confirmation bias.

I'm sick of this gender stereotype nonsense, it's the driving force behind most of the recent trans insanity and "gender is a social construct". And people who think they're fighting back by enforcing gender roles again are only reinforcing it.

I admit it isn't perfect. I have confused men for women, and have even been confused for a woman myself due to some usernames.

It's possible.

I'm sick of this gender stereotype nonsense

Ditto!
