I am not even sure I am a fully grown being until I had my Elevenses.

Besides the jokes, one of the physiological reasons is HRT. Persons on HRT are going through a second puberty which is quite a strain for the body. FtM people on HRT have the advantage that higher levels of testosterone can counter fatigue. MtF people on HRT on the other hand will have a much lower level of testosterone than before HRT, while also feeling the physical strain of their second puberty.

Trans women and low self-esteem, name a more iconic duo!

Thank you, friend! You have beautiful mind!

OFFICIAL MOD WARNING:

This conversation has runs its course. Zoomboingding@lemmy.world and DragonTypeWyvern @midwest.social do not continue it. Thank you!

Meanwhile trans mascs are out and about in a t-shirt and shorts. Enjoy the T, friends!

This is a very lukewarm defense, but this subject is something of a trope that shows up in various artists’ works. On the top of my head, I can say that it is a subject in a short story by Yoshihiro Tatsumi, as well as in Osamu Tezuka’s “Ayako”, both published way before Gaiman’s “Sandman” story. So I personally do not attribute too much importance to his story. His actions speak for themselves.

Strange. It worked previously, but I changed the link now and hopefully it works.

Thank you, I wish you the same.

First of all I intended to poke fun at the usual kind of New Year’s resolutions. But - yes - the political subtext is intentional on my part. The social and political conditions for trans and queer people, as well as women in general are deteriorating rapidly. Ultimately it will require fighting back in one way or another to preserve our human rights.

I can never stop admiring PMG for going to all the places where other news outlets fear to treat.

Yes, but facts don’t matter. They never did. There are no trans people assaulting people on toilets either. Or doctors forcing surgeries on unsuspecting children. Or people pretending to be trans in order to gain advantage in sports. Or…

I hate when I fall for AI slop. Thanks nonetheless.

And that’s the difference between classical conditioning (the dogs being trained to sensory input by Pavlov) and operant conditioning (Pavlov training himself through his own behavior).

This reminds me of a German kids game by the name of “Poor black cat”: The participants sit in a circle. One participant is the “poor black cat” and accordingly pretends to be a cat. They chose one other participant and that one has to pet the “cat” while calling them a “poor black cat”. If the “cat” makes the participant laugh, they lost and have to play the role of the cat for the next turn.

So it’s goes in a similar direction of what OP is suggesting, but it involves catgirls.

I am not entirely sure, but I think it’s @Larvadel.

Unfortunately facts don’t matter, because this is all about prejudice. That’s everything you need to know about right-wing rhetorical strategies: Reality doesn’t matter, because the purpose is to stoke up prejudices against “the enemy”.

If enough people hear about trans people taking over sports, something will stick, even if it is nothing but a vague association between trans people and sports. Even people who are generally supportive of trans people will thus become susceptible to argue about trans people in sports. That will reinforce the association and thus further the prejudice.
