    I don’t think you understand. By taking hormones, you have forgone the weakness of your flesh and adopted an artificial, non-biological body.

    Some post-menopausal cis women do this as well, which is why you don’t often see older women winning sports awards either. Some men do too, but that’s different because obviously it is (don’t ask why, I didn’t make the rules).

      Not sure if I understand you correctly. You mean this is the terfs’ essentialism shining through, which sees “women” as inherently inferior to “men”? It is pretty weird that those “radical” ““feminists”” have such a patriarchal view on gender and sex.

        For my last part? Yeah I don’t know. Nobody seems to ever talk about how common hormones are for cis people when they talk about banning them. But yes, I was playing on the fact that for some reason women tend to be treated disproportionately (and hypocritically) worse.
