I hadn’t seen this one:

‘the party should embrace patriarchy, jingoism and reactionary values’

• centrist democrat strategy

not surprising that’s why all the online followers of these people act like such assholes and treat anyone on the left like an enemy. great coalition.

I’m leftist, but

classic lol

.world is about as anticommunist as you can expect, if that’s not enough for you maybe you could relocate to one of the Nazi servers

zero, vegan

have high criticism of the “gender spectrum” philosophy for trying to turn exact science into fuzziness.

I will direct anyone thinking this to the gender accelerationist manifesto. Gender has never been an exact science and a strict binary has historically been imposed to create more reliable subjects for capitalism.

I’m also a trans woman, I don’t think you should look for anything specific that went wrong. There was always going to be an out-group to blame for all of societies woes. I’ve been saying since 10/7 that if we’re willing to just accept what’s happening there (in Palestine) then it’s just a matter of time until normalization of dehumanizing people like that blows back in our faces over here.

The last few years have been revelatory. I lost a chunk of my personal friend group after 10/7, it pushed me to instead more actively connect with other trans people in my locality in person. I’ve circulated memes to the effect prior to the election and because of that experience I wasn’t surprised to see liberals jumping right to blaming trans people for their failures after this election.

Mutual aid and solidarity across impacted groups is going to be important in the years ahead. All we can do is be prepared as best we can and look to our allies and whatever community we can build.

It’s some bullshit, update

!news@hexbear.net and its megathread (changes weekly) has discussion with generally communist/anarchist perspective, defederated from .world though.

I’ve stuck with lemmy.ml because I like being able to access the trans comms on both hexbear and blahaj, which are defederated from each other.

I’m inclined to agree, they don’t want people starting to consider social murder as a crime worth seeking justice for, because the entire government is complicit in a vast network of social murder. An enormous yearly sacrifice all in the name of preserving ‘markets’ for housing, food, transportation, and healthcare.

Except for the folks at blahaj. They can suck a dick

🤔

Oh I found a new comm to subscribe to!

I don’t own one, but the previous (non wheeled ones) have been around for a while, they’re on Amazon with mixed reviews, people on Reddit seem to have been using them too.

This list price for this bigger more performant one seems pretty high though at $100k

wheeled with a fancy suspension: (yt link)

Make R&D more affordable? Lower your countries healthcare costs and rent.

Note I said not fully reversed.

Are you interested in defending your statements or learning?

Bone density in trans women actually can end up being lower than in cis women, citation

I did, it’s clear that there could an adventage, not that there definitely will be.

It’s a tiny fraction of the population, even less of whom are going to be athletes. Cis women are perfectly capable of having higher testosterone levels and muscle mass than trans women.

Frankly a far bigger advantage when it comes to competing in sports is being wealthy enough to even have time/money to train for and attend these types of events on a regular basis rather than working to survive.

Don’t put me in the opposition just because I’m trying to understand and educate myself

Don’t get defensive then.

Reality lies somewhere in the middle, but seems like you’re not willing to talk about the gray zone.

The reality is that the ‘sanctity’ of sports competition is and has been a farce, excluding trans people entirely is a shit way to address whatever supposed problem there is, and the people who are interested in excluding trans people don’t give a shit about evidence anyways.

I can, I just did, bone density, body build and muscle strength cannot be fully reversed. I’m not saying every trans athlete will better or ‘unbeatable’ as you put it. I’m saying they’ll have an unfair advantage.

Bone density is actually one of the things that absolutely goes down with HRT, they even mention that in the study you cited.

Studies in nonathletic trans women after GAHT demonstrates no change in height, but have shown decreases in hemoglobin, bone density compromise, and decrease in muscle mass and strength, which continue to decline beyond 2 years.

While absolute muscle mass is higher, their relative muscle and fat mass percentages and muscle strength corrected for lean mass are no different to cisgender women.

no significant difference with cisgender women for running times by 2 years and sit-ups by 4 years after GAHT. An advantage in push-ups or upper body strength over cisgender women may remain at 4 years

This is all from the study you just linked, if you really are interested in learning maybe you could try reading the sources you’re bringing to the table.

Just to close out, again citing the study you provided:

with so few trans athletes and extremely low participation of trans people in sport, recruitment into such research will be challenging.

It’s almost like this is a non-issue that is being brought up by assholes to discriminate against an out-group.

A reminder that this comm is not for debating trans rights, (rule 4) I’ve let it slide thus far, but I’m really starting to question my judgement.

It’s uncanny how you can never expect anything good to come from social democrats.
