| – | Let's talk about Gender TheoryI think it's worth pointing out that Michael Jackson is on record saying he's proud to be black and that his skin turning white was the result of vitiligo, not bleaching and that "bleaching" his skin was something he had never done. That aside, to return to the hypothetical, my point was that while it is possible to use the strict definitions that you do, the sole reason to do so is for the sake of ideology. Even for purely pragmatic reasons, it makes more sense to refer to such a person as a wo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/25 12:05 AM |
| – | Let's talk about Gender TheoryUnless they've got psychic powers, no. There are a lot of trans people who pass, despite the cultural narrative that people "can always tell", it's not uncommon for trans people to pass within a few years of transitioning, especially if they transition when they're younger. There are plenty of trans women who live lives that are indistinguishable from those of any other woman, that are perceived as women, treated as women, and experience the world as women. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 10:33 PM |
| 1 | Let's talk about Gender TheoryNo, in this hypothetical, it's a trans woman. Ie, someone born male that's perceived as a woman, treated as a woman, who dates as a woman, experiences misogyny, and so on. Ie, someone who in all aspects of their life is a woman but who, according to the "strict" definition would still be considered a man despite nobody being aware of that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 04:48 PM |
| 2 | Let's talk about Gender TheorySure, you can have set definitions like that. But doing so leads to weird situations like a "man" being perceived as a woman by everyone in their life, in a relationship with a man who is only attracted to women (and people indistinguishable from women), who fits into the social category we call "women", who uses women's restrooms and other facilities, and so on. At that point, it becomes a matter of sticking to a definition just because you're ideologically committed to that decision. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 03:13 PM |
| 3 | Let's talk about Gender TheorySo instead, why not say one is a feminine man instead of insisting yourself as a woman when man and woman refers to the biological sex that one has? There's a fairly common misconception that trans people identify as the other sex because they feel the other gender better aligns with their interests or preferences, ie, that someone born male decides to identify as female because they have a high degree of innate femininity and they feel that would mean they'd fit in better as a woman. But that's… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/07/25 06:23 AM |
| -1 | How much would a month of "be the other sex" for everyone change the game.Seems like trans people who’ve experienced both types of libido would be the people to ask, no? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/11/23 06:32 AM |
| 2 | Transgenders (M to F) and sex drive...the same as a cis man or cis woman?Part of hormone therapy for trans women includes an anti-androgen which directly blocks the effects of testosterone and DHT. Estrogen also works as a testosterone blocker, directly lowering testosterone production. u/BaiKingu gave a good description of it. The TLDR is trans women's sex drives are comparable to those of cis women and trans men are comparable to cis men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/08/22 10:49 PM |
| 3 | A transgender man describes what it was like experiencing high levels of testosterone for the first timeNo, it doesn't make you transition faster, it just causes a shitload of health problems. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/10/21 06:03 PM |
| 4 | A transgender man describes what it was like experiencing high levels of testosterone for the first timeCommenting as a trans woman, you need a testosterone blocker to lower testosterone. Estrogen alone typically does not work. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/10/21 06:01 PM |
| 1 | Thoughts on transgender people?In part, yes. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/09/21 03:09 PM |
| 1 | Thoughts on transgender people?Same thing that did this time. Evidence points to a biological process in fetal neurological development as the source of gender identity, and sometimes the result of that process doesn't align with the person's sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/09/21 02:36 AM |
| 1 | Thoughts on transgender people?If you can't identify why pointing out an example of the toupee fallacy is exactly the type of thing that happens in a philosophy class, I'm not the one who struggled with it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/09/21 12:56 AM |
| 1 | Thoughts on transgender people?Because I've given people quizzes to see if they could guess who was cis & who was trans and people fucking blow at it. I can't imagine what you must've been like in gym class, because you're amazing at dodging things. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/09/21 12:34 AM |
| 1 | Thoughts on transgender people?I will once you answer the question instead of dodging it: How are you sure that no trans women look cisgender if by definition, you can't tell if one does? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 11:22 PM |
| 1 | Thoughts on transgender people?Quick question. How are you sure that no trans women look cisgender if by definition, you can't tell if one does? Especially considering many trans people transition without going through natal puberty. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 11:02 PM |
| 2 | Thoughts on transgender people?I mentioned upthread that I spent a lot of time around the queer scene back when subversive gender fuckery was celebrated. It was awesome. People would present however they felt without trying to conform to conservative binary ideas of masculinity or femininity. It's still like that in the spaces I frequent. The whole trans discourse today is incredibly regressive and has undone a LOT of feminist/queer progress, imo. They're trying to wedge themselves into boring binary hetero dynamics and that'… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 08:55 PM |
| 2 | Thoughts on transgender people?You're misunderstanding the nature of the argument. Out of curiosity, why do you identify as red pill? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 08:05 PM |

| 0 | Thoughts on transgender people?There are trans women who never go through male puberty. And hormones and surgeries both affect appearance. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 02:51 PM |
| 1 | Thoughts on transgender people?I've seen a few of your comments. Are you one of the people here who identify as red pill? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 02:50 PM |
| 3 | Thoughts on transgender people?Transgenders do not make sense in a society that repeated for decades that gender roles are something we influence onto kids. Trans people have existed for centuries. It would be bizarre to say Kalonymus Ben Kalonymus writing in 1322 was influenced by modern culture. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 02:49 PM |
| 2 | Thoughts on transgender people?Echoing the other commenter, early in my transition, I had to put a lot of effort in to be read as female consistently, i.e. my hair had to be flawless and styled femininely, I had to be wearing a bra, female clothes & usually a skirt, makeup, often a purse, etc. But nowadays, I wore cargo pants & a men's T-shirt 2 days ago and ripped jeans and a men's button down yesterday. I'd hardly say that's a stereotype of womanhood. And that's how I prefer to dress most days. And I'm privileged to do so b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/09/21 02:45 PM |
| 1 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)Haha, of course! Shifted from that to lumbersexual w/ cargo pants, boots, and a flannel or black undershirt every day at the end of college. | /r/MensRights | 13/02/21 03:41 AM |

(They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)God, I did a good job (I think) conforming in front of my family but my brother & I were expected to wear like Brooks Brothers' or Vineyard Vines type of clothes & EVERY bro assumed I was a bro and MAN was that awkward. My college friend group got nicknamed my harem because it looked like a straight dude with like 20 straight female friends. I do not speak bro | /r/MensRights | 13/02/21 03:09 AM |
| 1 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)Yeah, I know I can often explain things to some of the women in my house but I've had a lot of convos with the guys we're they're all on the same page & I'm just like ??????? | /r/MensRights | 13/02/21 03:00 AM |
| 1 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)That makes me really curious. I'm living with a bunch of straight men right now & I've been hanging out on r/askmen & it's been... eye opening? Like I want to think that being a trans woman who interacted with the world as a straight man for 24 years that I have particular insight into a male POV but I've increasingly realized I don't. | /r/MensRights | 13/02/21 02:37 AM |
| 1 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)I love the focus on manners to maintain civility when people want to be uncivil. That's a mood. Also, I found myself actively trying to parse out the sex of each character. That compulsion highlighted how my brain was programmed to do just that. Was fun trying to break that pattern. Yeah, same! I was not good at it. I'm currently re-reading The Black Jewels Trilogy. It's very male/female, with our differences highlighted and magnified in a way I really enjoy reading. This will be my fourth run t… | /r/MensRights | 12/02/21 10:01 PM |
| 1 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)I loved Ancillary Justice! I borrowed it from a friend and haven't got around to the sequels yet. Apparently the whole series is brilliant. Same friend who recommended that (our mutual favorite was Name of the Wind for a while) also recommended the Inheritance Trilogy (not Eragon). It's also been interesting, it's not what I was used to in fantasy in that it's not an adventure story but focuses on relationships, intrigue & individuals' lives, even for the gods. I'm also a big d&d fan and seem to… | /r/MensRights | 12/02/21 09:11 PM |
| 1 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)Yeah, Ward is interesting but I started it right around when the pandemic hit & it was just a bit too dark for *gestures around*. I've been meaning to read that sci-fi one he wrote too, Twig. Every other superhero book now feels derivative. There's one, Dreadnought, with a trans protagonist (aimed at like middle school level) that I read for reasons & while it was very good, heartwarming, etc. it just felt like 90% of the worldbuilding was stolen from Worm. | /r/MensRights | 12/02/21 08:46 PM |
| 1 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)That was my intuition originally too. My own experience on HRT & the research on the subject I read changed my POV. Also, checked your history quickly to make sure I wasn't feeding a troll (doesn't look like you are) since these discussions are exhausting otherwise and noticed you're a fan of Worm. I always love stumbling across other fans, it's probably the most underrated superhero story I've ever come across. | /r/MensRights | 12/02/21 08:28 PM |
| 2 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)I don't have any at hand specifically examining strength, but I've been engaging in the sports debate a lot recently so below are some studies I posted in another comment. Also, can relate. Testosterone has a lot of really cool affects: Strength Faster healing Less prone to bruising/abrasions & your skin is tougher Faster metabolism Generally warmer Higher red blood cell count (i.e. more oxygen in their system) Plus the masculinizing effects. Like if I could have all those things & keep my curre… | /r/MensRights | 12/02/21 06:27 PM |
| 3 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)HRT stands for "hormone replacement therapy", it's the shorthand for the medical regimen that trans people are prescribed. The long-hand would be feminizing or masculinizing cross-sex hormone replacement therapy. In the United States, this means taking exogenous testosterone for trans men & taking exogenous estrogen in combination with an antiadrogen such as spironolactone or bicalutamide. And thanks! Chose it on a whim! | /r/MensRights | 12/02/21 06:10 PM |
| 6 | The only discrimination that is allowed: States consider laws to ban transgender girls from women's sport. (They give support, but don’t want to live with the outcome- sports, restrooms)Did the study examine the effects of HRT on strength? | /r/MensRights | 12/02/21 05:58 PM |
