Yet we do not see any post-transition trans woman in any sport wiping the floor with her competition that did not go through a testosterone puberty. That doesn't bother any transphobe who has a say in pro sports, tho, in swimming competitions we now have the situation that cis women who've cheated by taking testosterone throughout their youth get a 2-4 year ban while trans women who had the wrong puberty forced on them get permanent bans from all competitions they'd stand a chance in.
tl;dr: you're a transphobic gender essentialist idiot who doesn't understand basic biology or how transitioning works and systematically ignores all empiric evidence that shows you're full of shit, go fuck yourself
if they're eligible for HRT at that age in the first place. It's remarkably difficult to meet all these arbitrary guidelines, and it's remarkably easy to let kids be kids.
If trans high school athletes are receiving appropriate medical care around transitioning, they're far more likely to be on puberty blockers than cross sex hormones. And that's a big if in the first place.
oh fuck off.
Kids can't access hormones, there's culture war bullshit around them even accessing puberty blockers despite best practice for trans kids being to put them on blockers to prevent an unwanted endogenous puberty.
'A mtf person' who is a child is, if treated in time and according to best practice, would still be prepubescent until they decide which, if any, puberty they'd like to undergo.
The fact treatment can be so difficult to access isn't some mark against trans people.
Are you fuck, you're a goddamn transphobe and an arrogant moron with literally no understanding of biology.
You've looked at some anecdotal data you don't understand and call it an open and shut case when it's pure dunning kruger effect.
Lmao so why is the "gender abolitionist" reinforcing and defending gender as a means to control and gatekeep others?
Gtfo out clown, have a good word with yourself and stop calling yourself a gender abolitionist.
You couldn't even be arsed to do the homework to realise your transphobic position is LITERALLY wrong.
Genuinely stop, as an actual gender abolitionist seeing you make such a mockery of my movement is irritating. I'm ashamed to have you identify as one and i don't want people associating gender abolition with backwards ignorant bigots like yourself.
Assumptions? You're literally being a transphobe and literally not being a gender abolitionist. There's nothing arrogant about it.
You're just a fucking idiot.
And I'm antagonistic because some moronic bigot is being a transphobe and claiming to be a gender abolitionist despite literally doing the opposite.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you eat lots and lots of poop
