> Sissy porn did make me trans.

Also:

> At the centre of sissy porn lies the asshole, a kind of universal vagina through which femaleness can always be accessed. Getting fucked makes you female because fucked is what a female is.

And, according to Chu, the "barest essentials" of "femaleness" are:

> an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes

All of which I think says a lot about attitudes towards women from this particular subset of males.

Interestingly, this has also been observed and researched by clinical psychologists who study sexuality and gender dysphoria.

A decent summary of the research can be read here: https://4thwavenow.com/2017/12/07/gender-dysphoria-is-not-on...

Note the difference in presentation the authors describe between "childhood-onset gender dysphoria" and "autogynephilic gender dysphoria". The males you refer to as relating primarily to men and gravitating towards male-dominated interests are more likely to be in the latter category.

The reason that "trans men" can become pregnant is because they are female.

Keep in mind that many women and girls have been socially conditioned to believe this type of job is not for them. Headlines like this can be inspirational in pushing back against this conditioning.

There are rare exceptions for genetic disorders relating to sex development, but generally speaking the above is true.

It is satisfying to read the engaging and curious reflections, like your own. Let us hope for more of these.

Example: r/womenarethings

The subreddit description:

> Women are things. Objects.

> They should be enjoyed, used, and they should enjoy this treatment without expecting anything in return.

> Women should not have an identity. They are not "I," "me," or "we." Women are "it," plain and simple.

You won't find any sub describing men like this.

One of the subreddits claimed by this paper to be "misandric" was banned by Reddit. That's the opposite of boosting.

But as they chose not to arrest her, this shields every other woman who might want to say similar. The argument being: if JKR can say a man is a man with impunity, then why can't anyone else?

So her making these statements of truth was a win either way. But being able to mount a solid defence in court, if needed, was essential to this strategy working.

Of course, because they are men. Being a man who calls himself a woman is the defining factor of "transwoman".

Most of these men intrude upon or demand access to women's spaces despite knowing that this will cause distress to women and despite having been told no.

It is a particularly threatening type of man that chooses to do this. The only reason that anyone lets these men get away with it is because they call themselves women and, because of misogynistic attitudes, their demands are valued more than women's needs.

Three tweets down is a retweet about an LGB conference. The tweet before that is about her taking legal action against libellous statements.

A few more tweets down from that is something about a man who fought a polar bear off with a saucepan.

I commented because I disagree with this dismissive and condescending presentation of her work in this area.

I recommend reading these if you haven't already.

Swyer syndrome isn't a condition compatible with an athletic career because of the bone weakening caused by hormone deficiency.

That said, the ideal outcome would be apologies to every female athlete affected by this, and for these men to be retrospectively disqualified and stripped of any medals or titles, with these instead being awarded to the women who would have won had these men not been competing. I doubt this will happen any time soon, but if those running these competitions had an ounce of integrity and sense of fair play, they would do.

That so many of these activists are holding signs which advocate the torture and murder of women who disagree with them says everything about their movement.

Some photos of the placards, including "Bring back witch burning ... JK" and "The only good TERF is a ____ one" with an image of a person being executed by hanging.

Aside from this, the male pelvis isn't shaped to accommodate a womb, and males don't have the hormonal milieu to enable pregnancy.

The closest that researchers have come to having a male gestate a foetus was in rats. But they had to connect the bloodstream of the male rat to a pregnant female rat, where both were implanted with embryos at the same time. Even then, it worked less than 5% of the time.

I don't know why you think this is a conservative lie. It is not.

MRKH syndrome is a disorder of female sex development, and if you look at this from the perspective of developmental biology it's clear that anyone affected by this must be a woman. I feel it shouldn't be too hard an idea to struggle with.

That they have a working womb transplant technique is impressive from a medical technology point of view but I think not enough has been said about the ethics of this experimentation.

Personally I wouldn't risk exposing my baby to transplant anti-rejection drugs. We don't know how this may impact the short-term or long-term health of the baby.

The commercial sex trade, including both porn and prostitution, is a multi-billion dollar industry that seeks to normalize extreme acts and promotes the dehumanisation of women and girls.

I think there's a real risk that organizations are going to drag their heels on this and then do not even the bare minimum, likely finding themselves in breach of the law.

It'll probably take a few more court cases and tribunals where such organizations are eviscerated by the judiciary for the message to sink in that women's rights in law are not to be downplayed, ignored or dismissed.

What the Supreme Court clarified the law doesn't do is grant them additional privileges, like access to spaces designated solely for the opposite sex.
