“They’ll disguise themselves as transmen!” They cry, “They won’t even have to change anything about themselves!  They can just walk in and announce they’re transmen!  This policy is going to get women hurt!”

Now, I recently had a revelation that leftism in itself should be deemed a mental illness due to nearly all of their causes and talking points being total inversions of reality (ie males can be women, white on black violence is the biggest threat to black lives, white people invented slavery, Muslims support LGBTQ while Christians want them killed, words are violence, violence is peace, political violence comes from the right, etc).  This recent development is just the latest piece of furniture thrown on the raging bonfire of leftist lunacy.

It operates under the false belief that trans people actually pass as the opposite sex.  Very, very few do, and among those who do pass visually, even fewer pass vocally as well.  The vast majority of transmen have what’s often called “frog” voices; Buck Angel, for example, has been on testosterone for decades and still sounds like she swallowed a kazoo.  Despite her external body taking very well to testosterone, her voice didn’t.  The vocal cords of adult females simply do not respond to testosterone the same way as those of juveniles.  The ones who do manage to shed the kazoo voice have usually undergone voice training and/or have had surgery, transitioned prior to adulthood, or are simply very, very lucky.

Remember that sexual dimorphism is at play in both instances - it hinders the ability of females to pass as male and hinders the ability of males to pass as female.  Thus it also hinders the ability of females to pass as males pretending to be female, and more importantly it hinders the ability of males to pass as females pretending to be male.

Most transmen are instantly recognized as being female.  Most transwomen are instantly recognized as being male.  The prior guidelines that allowed any male to self-ID his way into the women’s room based on his “gender identity” held far more room for exploitation by evil “cis men”, because all it required was the man’s say-so.  It didn’t require any attempt to pass as female, since everyone with two brain cells already knew instinctively that 99% of transwomen never manage to look or sound remotely female.  Transwomen who actually do make an attempt at female mimicry still wind up looking just as male as Joe Blow in the men’s room next door, just dressed in a spinny skirt.

An “evil cis man” trying to exploit the current guidelines by pretending to be a transman, however, would be making an incredible gamble, because instead of trying to pass as a male who dresses up as a woman, he’d be attempting to pass an an actual female.  Females on testosterone pass once in a blue moon.  Therefore males trying to pass as females trying to pass as male will be clocked immediately as actual males.  While the prior guidelines separated bathrooms by “gender identity”, which is unfalsifiable, the current ones separate bathrooms properly and the way they used to be before the world went insane - by sex, which is typically recognizable at a glance, whether the individual is taking cross sex hormones or not.

Imagine being in the women’s restroom and in walks a 6’5” man built like a linebacker, voice like James Earl Jones, and he says “I’m a transman”.  Yeah, and I’m Mickey Mouse, bro.

What makes this latest turn of events so fascinating is that it exposes not only the inversion of reality that characterizes the far left, but it exposes serious gaps in trans activist logic.

“Oh, you think that people should be required to use the bathrooms associated with their birth sex?” They ask, mockingly, “Okay, have fun the next time a super masculine transman walks into the women’s room!”

This talking point has been used often in trans discourse, but has gained considerably more traction in the wake of the new EHRC guidelines.  First and foremost, as previously stated, it ignores the fact that transmen don’t actually pass as men, let alone super masculine macho men.

More importantly, it’s not quite the “gotcha!” that they intend for it to be.  What they’re doing in this instance is using the gender critical argument (yes, the argument of us evil bigots!) in an effort to invert the reality of who is potential predator and who is potential prey. The gender critical argument (and really the argument of every sane person on earth) is that men pose a threat to women and girls not because of their “gender identities” but because of their male anatomy, in particular their sex organs.

In saying “You’ll be sorry when a burly transman walks into the women’s restroom!” what they’re doing is they’re abandoning the notion that gender is what’s valid and are instead invoking the realities of sexed bodies.

“You’ll be afraid of this person because she looks like a male even though she secretly isn’t one!” is an argument that falls flat on its face when you remember that the very same person pushing it would gladly welcome actual and obvious males, from the burliest bikers to the wiriest anime boys, into female spaces based on their claim that they have a “female gender”.  So while they’re hoping to inspire fear in women, they’re doing so by invoking the primal, instinctual fear that women have of the male body.  Not the “male gender identity”, the male body. But we’re suddenly supposed to trust those male bodies when they’re wearing spinny skirts?

So in an upside-down manner, they’re making our point for us, but they don’t realize it.  They’re parroting a falsehood (that transmen pass as male) in order to utilize a line of logic to which they claim they don’t subscribe (that fear of men is based on bodies and not feelings) in order to push an inverted conclusion (that transmen should use male spaces because women’s fear of females on testosterone is warranted but fear of actual males in dresses is unjustified).

I thought leftist lunacy had already peaked but this takes the crazy cake. Can we please reopen the asylums?

They typically point to Blanchard’s AGP Typology questionnaire, and the fact that, when administered the same exact questions as were given the males, females got the same, or a very similar, score.

However, such a questionnaire cannot be applied equally to both sexes; just because two groups respond the same to the same questions doesn’t mean that they indicate the same thing.  Context, or rather the lack thereof, is extremely important here, primarily due to the fact that one of the groups already resides in a female body whereas the other does not.  The former can easily misinterpret the context if it isn’t made clear at the start and the questions are presented with no obvious subject.

The female cohort, having been born and lived their entire lives in female bodies, will likely interpret most or all of the questions as relating to their role in a potential sexual encounter and/or how to attract a partner, rather than a psychological evaluation of how they perceive their existence in their own bodies.

I’m going to answer each question in the survey as they pertain to me, a female, and then break down how they could result in an inaccurate conclusion depending on the group to which they’re administered.

These questions have been obtained from The Concept of Autogynephilia and the Typology of Male Gender Dysphoria by Ray Blanchard (1989)

1. Have you ever become sexually aroused while picturing yourself have (sic) a nude female body or with certain features of the nude female form? Yes or No.  No.  I’ve never been sexually aroused by the mere idea of my existence in my female body.  I might get aroused WHILE picturing myself naked under a man, but it’s the notion of intercourse that arouses me, not the thought of my body itself.                                 

2. You became sexually aroused while picturing your nude female breasts. Yes, No, or Never pictured yourself with nude female breasts.  It depends entirely on the context. Am I thinking about my upcoming gynecologist appointment and the breast exam which will accompany it? Then I’m absolutely not aroused by the thought of it. Am I thinking about a potential sexual encounter with a man and picturing his hands on my breasts? Then I’ll likely get aroused, because the context is sexual.

3. You became sexually aroused while picturing your nude female buttocks. Yes, No, or Never pictured yourself with nude female buttocks.  The only context in which I’ve ever pictured my nude butt is in the occasional nightmare where I’ve somehow wound up naked in public and am absolutely mortified and uncomfortable.  So no, I don’t get aroused picturing my nude butt.

4. You became sexually aroused while picturing your nude female legs. Yes, No, or Never pictured yourself with nude female legs.  I’ve never had reason to picture my unclothed legs in my mind’s eye.

5. You became sexually aroused while picturing your nude female genitals (private parts). Yes, No, or Never pictured yourself with nude female genitals.  As in question 1, only in the context of a sexual encounter with a man.  If I’m about to engage in such, I need to be aroused in order for the experience to be pleasurable.  As females rely heavily on mental stimulation in order to achieve arousal and orgasm, we often imagine the sex act itself.  Imagining the act of sex and becoming aroused is a normal, healthy part of the female arousal process and female sexuality.

6. You became sexually aroused while picturing your female face. Yes, No, or Never pictured yourself with female face. Absolutely not. I’ve had my face since I was born and it’s simply my face.

7. Which of the following pictures of yourself has been most strongly associated with sexual arousal? a. As a nude woman b. As a woman dressed only in underwear, sleepwear, or foundation garments (for example, a corset) c. As a fully clothed woman d. Have never become sexually aroused while picturing yourself as a woman I have never become sexually aroused while picturing myself as a woman unless, as stated previously, I’m directly imagining the act of sexual intercourse or the prelude to such.

8. Have you ever been sexually aroused by the thought of being a woman? Yes or No No.

9. Have you ever been sexually aroused while picturing yourself as a woman in the nude being admired by another person? Yes or No In the context of sexual intercourse about to happen, yes.  Simply being admired without an act of sex imminent?  No.

10. Have you ever been sexually aroused while picturing yourself as a woman dressed only in female underwear, sleepwear, or foundation garments (for example, corset) being admired by another person? Yes, No, or Never Pictured this.  Never.  I find lingerie hideous, underpants are simply underpants, and sleepwear is for sleeping.

11. Have you ever been sexually aroused while picturing yourself as a fully dressed woman being admired by another person? Yes, No, or Never Pictured this. Never pictured this.

12. Which of the following pictures of yourself has been most strongly associated with sexual arousal? a. As a woman who is alone in private b. As a woman who is being admired by another person c. Have never become sexually aroused while picturing yourself as a woman d. Have never picturing yourself as a woman None of the above.

As you can see, I only get aroused by my body as it relates to my role in sexual activity. However, if I had gone into the survey unaware of the context, my answers may have been different.

In one instance data was collected by leaving the surveys, without context, on the nurses’ break room table at a hospital. Not only is that an extremely unreliable method of obtaining accurate data, but the lack of context can easily lead to a misinterpretation of the subject and the skewing of results. A woman might see the words “sexual arousal” and immediately assume that the survey is about general sexual arousal as it applies to sexual activity; her mind wouldn’t automatically jump to how she feels about her existence in her own body, unlike a male, for whom the notion of having a female body can only be in the context of fantasy.

The TRA talking point that, if autogynephilia existed (they like to claim that it’s been debunked as “pseudoscience”) 98% of “cis” women would have it, is harmful to women.  Pathologizing the normal, healthy female sexual response (of getting horny when thinking about sex) by likening it to a fetish found in males who often have comorbid paraphilias, runs the risk of scaring women away from their newfound sexual freedom.

While I have quibbles with the sexual liberation movement (mainly in terms of how it’s benefited males more than females and doesn’t teach moderation), a world in which women are forced back into chastity not of their own will, but due to their normal sexual response being seen as akin to that of mentally ill and often perverted males who fetishize the very existence of the female form, is not what we need.

And for the really lucky boys, there’s a “leveled-up” form of horniness that transcends a mere increased sex drive, that puts garden variety horniness to shame.  They’ve dubbed this achievement “girl horny”.

Side note: As we’ve all quickly discovered, the vast majority of TIMs are greasy IT types who spend most of their free time playing video games, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many of them use gamer lingo when discussing anything they perceive as an aspect of femaleness. For example, an oft used phrase is “unlocked” - as in “I just unlocked girl horny!”, a reference to the “unlocking” of a playable character’s skill in a game.

Symptoms of “girl horny” apparently include but are not limited to:

-feeling absolutely feral

-feeling like “a ferret in heat”

-having an insatiable sexual appetite that isn’t quelled by orgasm

-being unable to focus on anything else but their body’s “yearning”

-wanting to get “railed”

-needing to be “fucked and filled”

-needing to be “impregnated” immediately

In their own words:

“So I've been feral and constantly down bad for four days straight now unable to think remotely straight, and while the fantasies and desires are great, I cannot function properly in daily life…I caught myself grinding on the sink earlier” - u/Squintor

“Girl horny hit HARD. I’m like a ferret in heat: I’ll die if I don’t get bred” - u/Ksnj

“Can't stop thinking about dudes grabbing me and pulling me into them. I feel like a fucking snake demoness who just wants to  wrap herself around every part of a man's body and drain his lifeforce out of his pores while he sucking mine from my neck or whatever. 24 hours non stop for like 3 days or something straight. maybe 4. SHUT UP BRAAAIN. SHIT UP BODY DX SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPPPPPP DX” - u/esperstarr

“I can’t think straight, my body gets all hot, and I’m half tempted to just let anyone who’s interested have their way with me.” - u/Striking_Witness1364

“I usually just start squirming in bed for an hour or so when I get girl horny because it's too much initially to be able to get up and try to do stuff for me. Lots of aching and constant thoughts about needing to be fucked and made pregnant” - u/Doogzmans

“Lol my girl horny lasted 4 months of absolutely unbearable lust. I am still a lusty little fat slut, but I can go two hours without wanting needing to make a mess of my panties now. Last week I went an entire day without feeling desperately needy for sex!” - u/shortskirtflowertops

“And it gets even worse on progesterone. It's the yearning horny on top of a deep need to get bred. Makes you feel like a cat in heat…For me, it's pretty much cis girl ovulating horny 24/7. And God damn it's almost too much sometimes. It's like I have a little voice in my head that randommly pops up and says "you need to have someone cum in you" I can't get pregnant but god damn it ima keep trying.” - u/Emily__Lyn

“I noticed I started having mini orgasms just from kissing and touching” - u/ZeeWuzHere24

“For me my girl horny is like; I want to massively get railed missionary style with my feet up in the air while he holds my feet” - u/Agitated_Newspaper23

“…a subtle bit unignorable feeling of just needing a proper fuck more than maybe I’ve ever felt in my life…Welcome to second puberty, girlfriend” - u/Zunderunder

“Girl horny been hitting me haaaaaaard the last couple weeks. Need the pounding into existential dust.” - u/blarglemaster

“I’ve been feeling a need to be just RAVAGED lately, especially after starting prog” - u/ZoellaFren

“honestly i need a penis inside me sooo bad.” - u/Subject-Ad-4072

“Two months ago I was NEEEDY. I couldn't stay still in bed, no time to do the solo, no partner but my body behaved as if it wanted to convince a partner to initiate. My lower body was moving without my own doing. I could barely concentrate on studies cause my brain was fantasizing so much... This was the most horny I've ever felt and so different from how I knew it from before HOOOOOLLLLLYYYYYY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGHHH” - u/ke__ja

“ya the best way to describe it is like an ever so slight static electricity feeling over your body, and next thing you know, you’re throwing your ass on a dildo stuck to the wall and saying some absolutely ferocious things to yourself while doing it 🤣” - u/happygal95

“I got horny in my tits recently. 10 months estrogen injections 1 month progesterone.  Like the way my gock used to (still does sometimes) I felt it so intensely like they were on fire.  Hrt is fucking magic” - u/Nora_Venture_

“I can just think about things or make specific sounds and it is like a winter soldier trigger going off in my brain to invoke horniness.  Progesterone made it go from “can get horny with tadalafil” to “want to breed like rabbits” since the 2nd day I was on it.” - u/TheRealDonPatch

“Same, spoiler for tmi one is horny and wants to be BRED, the other is horny and wants to be locked away and denied until she's a squirming mess on a hair trigger Incredibly annoying the only guy im interested in is basically ace” - u/No_Industry4318

This kind of rhetoric is dangerous because, as trans ideology is forced more and more into the mainstream, it will give ammunition to predatory men who wish to hurt actual girls.  As if females, both pubescent and prepubescent, aren’t already in enough danger from the predations of males, sexualization of young women and girls is at an all time high and has unlimited reach thanks to social media.  Girls as young as 7 have flawless makeup techniques, 13 year olds are wearing butt-cheek-revealing shorts, and boys now have on-demand, unlimited free access to hardcore porn on handheld devices. Sexually explicit material is pushed into school curriculum, children are being taught to distrust and keep secrets from their parents, and we now have internet armies of fully-sexually-mature adult men, many with crippling fetishes, talking about how female hormones, at “cis girl puberty” levels, have turned them into feral beasts that need to be “bred”.

Far too many males, in every neighborhood of every city of every state of every region of every country of every continent, believe that girls are ready to have sex as soon as their breasts begin to develop.  This is a problem that has existed since before humans emerged from our caves.  Now we have a cohort of males who are essentially confirming to their pedophilic counterparts that yes, estrogen, the magical girl juice nectar from the gods, is the world’s most powerful aphrodisiac, transforming innocent little girls into slutty vixens who just need a good “railing” (this word is a favorite among TIMs) a mere two months after their bloodstreams become saturated with the hormone.

Trans ideology is bad for women and girls in so many ways, and having adult males become the arbiters of female puberty and sexuality is downright insidious, especially since so many of them erroneously liken their stages of estrogen-induced breast development and male dysfunction to the puberty stages experienced by females who are potentially as young as 8.  What does that say to males from cultures that already treat women and girls as property, that already view women and girls of other religions as fair game, as sexual goods, as objects to which they’re entitled?  Those men who may not be able to discern that the effects of estrogen in the mature male body are not the same as those seen in the juvenile female body?

It tells those men that the twelve year old girls they pass on the sidewalk in the UK are in constant heat, that they don’t just want, but NEED, some dick, and that they will be justified in giving it to them lest they die like an unbred female ferret in heat.

What does it say to the fifteen year old Alabama boy who is already addicted to porn and sexually frustrated?  It tells him that his ten year old sister, who has begun to develop breasts and is therefore surely writhing about on her bed every night in the throes of “girl horny”, is ripe for the picking.  He’ll be helping her, you see!

While puberty does indeed lead to eventual sexual awakening in both girls and boys, as reproductive maturity is obviously the end result of the process, contrary to what many males believe, girls are not ready to reproduce as soon as they begin puberty.  Puberty begins earlier in girls than in boys due to the complexity of the female reproductive system. Girls’ bodies need years just to develop a regular menstrual cycle, let alone undergo a safe pregnancy.  Juvenile pregnancy in the past as well as today in underdeveloped countries only occurred due to the sexual proclivities of males, not because it is beneficial to girls or the species.  So while pubescent females will indeed begin to experience sexual arousal, such arousal absolutely does not manifest as a desire to get “railed and impregnated”.  As the ones who bear the brunt of reproduction, most young women in sexual relationships take precautions to avoid pregnancy until they’ve decided they wish to start a family; pregnancy scares can rattle the nerves.  TIMs, on the other hand, know that they have a 0% chance of becoming pregnant, so, just as they do with other elements of femaleness, they fantasize about it and have fun playing with the concept, like a dog playing with a stolen squeaky toy.

Girls and women need to be treated as human beings by males; when female puberty is allowed to be hijacked and reframed by males who are not only fully sexually mature, but who are so often driven by perversion, it serves as nothing more than encouragement for males who already view girls as playthings.

Sadly though, trans rights activists have already made it abundantly clear that they’re fine with collateral damage in the form of women and girls.  Women and girls will get assaulted in bathrooms anyway, they say, so surely we can throw open bathroom doors to all males, and if a few extra girls get raped it’s fine, as long as males in dresses feel affirmed. Similarly, women and girls get raped everyday all over the world, they’ll say, so contributing to rape culture by enticing would-be predators with assurances that estrogen quickly turns girls into little sirens is a trade off they’re more than willing to make.

I’m glad you’re here, because this post will examine those questions!

Recently the subreddit r/trans experienced an upheaval.  It began when a TIF made a post calling out the mods and some other users for belittling the experiences and hardships of transmen.  She lamented the fact that posts by her and other TIFs in which they attempted to address issues faced by their community were frequently downvoted and deleted.

The post was, of course, also summarily deleted, and the real drama began when one of the offending moderators told her to “stop bitching”.  A flood of posts in support of the TIF ensued, with TIFs and TIMs alike (and probably enbys and femboys and two spirits and trigenders and nonpracticing aroace sapphic bisexual puppygirls as well) using their voices to affirm that yes, transmen are men, you bigot - men who suffer oppression at the hands of the patriarchy.  These sentiments spilled over into other trans and lgbt subreddits, and for a few days it was quite the hot topic.

The irony of this hilarious mess, of course, is that their keenness on keeping transmen included in the Oppression Olympics proves that they know that transmen are, in fact, not men.

Remember that the bread and butter of the far left, and by extension the trans community, is vilifying the “cishet white man” (and sometimes even the “cisgay” white man).  However, the majority of transmen also happen to be white and a sizable percentage are “straight”.  Yet for some reason such transmen aren’t demonized for those attributes at all.  Instead, they’re by and large deemed just as much victims of the “cishet white patriarchy” as women, TIMs, and minorities.  This distinction would suggest that transmen, or at least the white “straight” ones, are not men in any real sense of the word.

Trans logic states that the only thing that matters is a person’s “gender identity”, and that the physical body is superfluous.  Biological sex has no use in modern society, they say, and is entirely irrelevant, to the point that even sexual orientation apparently no longer exists and physical attraction is (and always has been, according to the ideologues) based on “gender”.  That’s the argument that they try to use in order to force women to accept TIMs in our spaces; females must put up with intact males in our restrooms and spas because, according to them, those spaces are actually segregated by our internal senses of self rather than our sexed bodies.  Transwomen are women, you bigot, goes the mantra.

It’s glaringly obvious, though, that such logic isn’t applied to transmen, despite the same “trans____ are ____” slogan being used in reference to them whenever possible.  Women are browbeaten and told that there’s “literally no difference” between “cis” women and transwomen as long as we both have the same “gender identity”, and that a transwoman’s male genitals are completely irrelevant and none of our business, to the point that we’re not even allowed to object to being naked next to a male who identifies as a woman.  Meanwhile transmen are coddled and afforded just as much victimhood at the hands of society as other oppressed groups.  They’re well aware of this double standard, in fact, and often take advantage of it; transmen requesting and being happily granted access to lesbian spaces, for instance, is not uncommon.  Some transmen even continue to call themselves lesbians!

This begs the question - what attributes could possibly be different between white “straight” transmen and white straight “cis” men in order for the former to be treated with kid gloves, catered to, and protected from their wicked “cis” counterparts?

Obviously not their “gender”; activists have made it abundantly clear that transmen are men just as “cis” men are men, as they share a “gender identity”, something that they view as a fundamental part of a human being’s “soul”, which cannot ever be questioned never ever ever.  They’re also both white and are attracted to women, so the disparity doesn’t arise from race or sexuality.  Nor can they claim that it’s due to TIFs having been “socialized female” in their formative years, as many trans people dispute that it’s possible for someone to be socialized as a “gender” that they’re internally not.

All other potential reasons for the disparity in treatment having been exhausted, we’re left with a single characteristic.  Biological sex, which indeed differs between “cis” men and transmen.  The thing that trans people and activists say isn’t important in the slightest actually turns out to be the most important distinguishing factor between white transmen and white “cis” men.  It’s apparently a meaningful enough distinction that TIFs, TIMs, and allies are more than happy to go to bat to defend transmen as verified members of the victim class.

But it doesn’t end there.  Activists insist that, in addition to being victims of the patriarchy, TIFs have their own unique needs to boot (as we witnessed in the r/trans blowup), which further reinforces the fact that a very solid barrier exists between them and real men.

Though this, perhaps unwitting, admission that transmen are female is used to further justify their victim status, that same logic is forced to the side when it comes to “cis” women and the fact that we also have female bodies with needs different from those of males.  [Side note: as I discuss in my post titled “Trans activists do indeed know that females can get pregnant…when they’re talking about ‘trans men’, that is” it’s only when the discussion is centered around the biological needs of TIFs that activists will acknowledge that the female sex even exists and that its members tend to menstruate and have the ability for pregnancy.]  Whereas activists shriek that transwomen are women and that physical differences between males and females are never a valid reason for feeling uncomfortable changing next to a naked transwoman, transmen are consistently treated differently from, and often elevated above, “cis” men.

This has been going on for as long as the ideology has existed, mind you.  The constant carving out of exceptions for transmen (ie “I’ve never felt safe around men.  Well, except for transmen.  They’re safe.”) is a direct acknowledgment that they’re being judged by their sex and not their “gender”.

Just go on r/MtF and do a search for “trans men”.  Here are some post title results:

“TRANS MEN ARE MEN”

“TRANS MEN SUPREMACY”

“Trans Men = Men and Deserve to be Heard”

Now search for “cis men”.  Here are a few post title results:

“Cis men scare me”

“Is anyone else afraid of cis het males?”

“Dear cis men, stop”

So if trans people and activists know, however superficially or deep, that transmen are not actually men, then what about transwomen?  Does the much heavier emphasis on forcing the “transwomen are women!” mantra down our throats indicate that they actually believe such rhetoric?  Why do activists expect women to ignore the male bodies of transwomen while simultaneously placing heavy emphasis on the sex-based differences between transmen and “cis” men?  Do they believe transwomen to truly be women?

No.  They know exactly who they’re dealing with, at least in the vast majority of cases.  They know that transwomen are men, and often mentally deranged ones at that.  TIMs have shown themselves to have patterns of aggression, physical assault, and rape that rival their “cis” counterparts.  They’re porn-brained and fetish-addled, greasy nerds who treat womanhood like a character customization screen in a video game.  They’ve made it clear that they can and will harm anyone who stands between them and their “tiddy skittles”.  The most vocal, most likely to partake in violent rallies, transwomen come in two primary morphs - the hulking, 6’5” muscle heads and the skinny but only slightly shorter overgrown-high school boy types who have so much pent up rage from girls not wanting to date them that they join antifa just to terrorize people who disagree with their worldview. The majority of regular people who repeat the “transwomen are women” mantra do so out of fear, out of a very real acknowledgment of these males and the capabilities that they have.  This fear enables transwomen to get whatever they want.

In conclusion, the vast majority of trans activists know damn well that transmen are women and that transwomen are men.  The disparity in treatment between transmen and “cis” men is due to the fact that transmen are of the female sex.  This, however, nullifies the “biological sex is irrelevant” logic that’s used in order to get transwomen into female spaces. Activists are much more likely to push harder with such rhetoric in order to get transwomen into women’s locker rooms, because they know exactly what sex transwomen are and that noncompliance with their demands might result in violence.

I’ll leave you with this: next time you encounter a trans activist complaining about the “cishet white patriarchy” ask them how they feel about transmen, and go from there.  In the end you’ll hopefully have unraveled their entire ideology.

Peruse Reddit’s r/MtF for just five minutes and you’ll see that TIMs treat their female relatives not as human beings, but as commodities, as specimens to be studied.  For all their talk of women’s rights and bodily autonomy, they have a sense of entitlement not only to their mother’s and sister’s clothing but to their very bodies, a form of misogyny that is rooted in the antiquated belief that a woman’s body is not hers alone, but is a vessel for men’s enjoyment and scrutiny.

They believe that their mere self-identification into womanhood should give them unfettered access to the most private aspects of their female kin’s life.  When they’re not committing actual sexual assault by trying on their sister’s bikini or jacking off into their mom’s underpants, they’re plundering laundry piles to find out bra sizes; some even have the gall to ask their relatives their measurements straight up.  These males have mentally catalogued the sizes of intimate wear worn by their sisters, mothers, aunts, cousins, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and even nieces and daughters.  Posts that query how large one can expect his breasts to develop on estrogen are flooded with comments that unashamedly cite the MtF “Golden Rule” - that is, “One cup size smaller than your closest female relative, start looking at your mother, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, nieces, and daughters for an idea of how large your tiddies will be!” Searching these subreddits isn’t even necessary, as new discussions pop up daily, but I’ll give you just a tiny sampling:

Whether it’s for sexual gratification or the aforementioned curiosity over how large a TIM can expect his breasts to grow on estrogen, this sort of invasion of privacy and boundaries is born of a male’s sense of ownership over female bodies.  In fact, when called out on such behavior, many of these men will act as though there’s nothing wrong with sneakily trying on their sister’s bathing suit.  These attempts at justification appear to be more prevalent in the teenage to young adult age group - the generation that was raised on social media and puts question marks at the end of statements in order to give them a snarky upward inflection.  They’ll typically respond to an inquiry about sexually-invasive behavior with “Um…it’s like…really not a big deal???”

Just as with all other aspects of trans ideology, such as the use of female-only spaces and sexual orientation, these men believe that their mere word that they have some sort of female soul completely negates the reality of their sexed bodies.  They expect their female relatives to treat them as female, and be suddenly comfortable with their male bodies and genitals based on nothing but a claim about a completely arbitrary and undefinable “gender identity” that’s based heavily on regressive, misogynistic stereotypes.

One 16 year old TIM on Bluesky was genuinely surprised that his sister reacted with horror and disgust upon learning that the gusset of her bikini had had a penis curled up on it; he became furious and blocked me when I pointed out how invasive, inappropriate, and abusive his actions were.

While most TIMs are well aware that such a thing constitutes a form of sexual assault and simply don’t care, some, like the aforementioned teenager, are indeed so captured by the ideology that they honestly believe that their male genitals cease to be male, or that they at least shouldn’t be deemed male.  As long as their nebulous senses of self equal “woman”, their sisters and mothers are no longer entitled to privacy or dignity.

This is in the same vein as “Those transphobic and hateful lesbians clearly have never tried an estrogenized penis or they’d know that it’s no longer a male organ, nay, it has become female!”  It’s also the same mentality that drives the bathroom debate - trans activists try to argue that bathrooms and other places of accommodation are separated not by sex, but by feelings, which entirely belittles the fact that we exist in physical bodies first and foremost and that our internal senses of identity, if we even have them, are pretty inconsequential to anyone other than ourselves.

Despite their intimate and ill-gotten knowledge of all things private when it comes to their female kin, TIMs clutch their pearls at the notion of their male relatives treating them the same way.   They denounce their fathers and brothers for merely glancing at their artificially-grown breasts.  That’s right - the very men who study their female relatives like specimens under a microscope and who rummage through their mothers’ underwear drawers, shriek about how inappropriate and indeed “misogynistic” it is for a man to have eyes and to use them to see things.  All the while they’re busy adding their ten-year-old sister’s bra size to their notebooks.

They want so badly to experience some form of “gender”-based oppression or discomfort about which to post on r/ewphoria, but that’s based on a false premise; the very oppression that they seek to experience isn’t based on “gender” but on biological sex.  They insist that misogyny and violence against women are “gender”-based, yet they consistently attempt to invoke imagery of classic, purely sex-based male-on-female predation (ie “How horrible for a MAN to look at a WOMAN’S body like that!”).  Since, according to trans logic, the “internal sense of self” takes precedence over the physical, then surely the “gender identity” of the man must be demonstrated to cause psychic harm to the “gender identity” of the “woman” (the TIM) in order for the exclamation to have any meaning.  Even if such harm could be demonstrated, it would still be purely psychological, and the “woman’s” body would remain irrelevant (and male, thus less susceptible to male predation than a female).

A male looking at another male’s artificially-grown chest is not even in the same league as a male mentally cataloguing the breast sizes of his female relatives, though the TIM, in his eagerness both to downplay the importance of sex and receive “affirmation” as a “woman”, views the former as worse than the latter based on the offending male’s opposite “internal sense of identity” to his own.  In his eyes, a TIM trying on his sister’s undergarments isn’t sexual assault as long as they have the same “gender identity”, which they believe makes it akin to a female trying on her sister’s underpants (which is also gross and, despite what TIMs think, doesn’t actually happen except perhaps in the absolute poorest of families).

There’s a saying that homophobic straight men look on gay men with suspicion because they don’t want to be treated by another man the way they treat women.  It rings true here, which only serves to reinforce the fact that transwomen are, well…men.  Overwhelmingly straight men.

Unsurprisingly, on the TIF side of reddit, you have to dig pretty deep before you find a post discussing how a father’s penis size may confer “bottom growth” to a transman on testosterone.  Whereas the daily posts on r/MtF, in which TIMs rattle off a laundry list of female family members’ breast sizes, are full of comments like “My mom has small tiddies but my grandma had HUGE knockers, will I be lucky enough to inherit them?”, the exceedingly rare penis inheritance posts on r/ftm are typically full of comments asking how the poster might possibly know such weird information about her father, and the creators of such posts are often told in no uncertain terms that it’s a highly inappropriate topic of discussion.

In fact, the OP of one of the only posts I found in which a father’s penis size was discussed admitted that she only knew it because he sexually abused her as a child.  Sadly that isn’t at all shocking, as male sexual predation is widely understood as an impetus for female transition.  As I wrote in my piece titled On Transmen: Picking and Choosing, and HRT [Hair] Fallout, “…both the TIM and TIF in these scenarios are motivated by male sexuality - the former is motivated by his own sexuality and fetishes, and the desire to see them fulfilled, while the latter is motivated by her desire to escape the clutches of male sexuality”.  The exact same dynamics hold true here - the TIM learns the ins and outs of his mother’s anatomy because of his male perversion, and the TIF learns the ins and outs of her father’s anatomy because of the father’s male perversion.  In each scenario the male benefits and the female suffers.

If transwomen were actually women, they would respect the privacy of their female family members, and if transmen were actually men they would be far more likely to be comparing their “dicks” against their male family members.  With their unashamed openness about not only seeking to find out private details about their mother’s bodies, but their belief that they’re somehow OWED such information and will go to the creepiest of lengths to get it, TIMs are only proving to the world that they’re male.  Not only are they male, but they’re the worst type of male, that which respects women so little as fellow human beings and reduces them to anatomical references.  TIFs, on the other hand, are only demonstrating their femaleness, as the majority opinion on their subreddits is that it’s exceedingly weird and inappropriate to know intimate information about one’s male family members.  They have neither the drive nor the entitlement to find out such information.

I plan to do more posts about the ways in which TIMs show themselves to be starkly male, so stay tuned.

The comments section is full of the usual - TIMs affirming one another’s “womanhood”, calling out meanie terfs, and, of course, rolling out the beaten-half-to-death statistic that “96% of lesbians are supportive of transwomen”.

Fortunately that statistic was challenged when one TIM pointed out that a separate study demonstrated clearly that, despite supporting TIMs, only 9% of lesbians would actually consider dating them, while 20% would consider dating a TIF; the significance being, of course, that most people still understand that sexuality is based on sex organs.

Those who responded to the comment citing the statistical discrepancy between the percent of lesbians who support TIMs and the percent of lesbians who would date them, were utterly confounded and blindsided. 

“You mean those women are nice to us and want us to live happy lives…but don’t want to fuck us?” was the general sentiment.

Of course, this reaction doesn’t come as a surprise to women.  Conflating general kindness with a desire for sex is such a classic, quintessentially-male response that nearly all women have been on the receiving end of it at some point in their lives.

From the 15 year old girl who simply smiles once at her male classmate and has to spend the rest of the year rejecting his requests for a date, to the 21 year old woman who shows kindness to her awkward male coworker only to receive an unsolicited dick pic from him that evening.

It is an almost-exclusively-male phenomenon, one born of entitlement and sexual desperation, (and especially common among incels) to misconstrue basic human kindness from women as a desire for intimate relations.  It’s rooted in the same aberrant psychology that sees 70 year old men strip completely naked at pride parades because they think little girls walking by want to see their sagging dicks, or the fat, greasy millionaires who delude themselves into believing that their 20 year old girlfriends are actually attracted to their vile bodies and not just their yachts.  It shouldn’t have to be said, but the male sex drive is so powerful that it overrides nearly everything from shame to decency, and short circuits their brains, allowing them to see their gross selves as desirable and seeing females as receptacles that they’re entitled to use.

“Wait…you don’t want my dick in your mouth?  Then why’d you say you support me and want me to thrive?!?” from the TIM comes from the exact same place as “Wait…you don’t want my dick in your mouth?  Then why’d you put your hand on my shoulder and tell me how good my budget presentation was yesterday?!?” from the straight male incel crowd.

With the TIM, however, the delusion and neediness go one step further than the regular horny incel, as their target group is that which by definition excludes males from their dating pool.  The TIMs should know, by default, that lesbians don’t want to date them.

“Are you telling me that those women who are repulsed by penises were being nice to me simply for the sake of being nice, and not because they wanted to touch my penis?!?!?  Where’s my fainting couch???” is the energy.

It takes a very special breed of male entitlement to be surprised that lesbians, a group that’s literally defined by its aversion to sexual relations with males, don’t want to touch their dicks.  And these males are perhaps more terrifying than their “cis” male counterparts, as we have no way to escape them.  They’re legally allowed to be in our bathrooms, our locker rooms, and all other places that were once single-sex.  These men merely have to state that they’re allowed into our spaces and they are.  Even under Trump 2.0, we have no legal recourse in many blue states to kick them out.  Our places of refuge have been invaded by men who feel entitled not only to our words and our spaces but to a sexuality that does not include them and therefore our bodies.  These self-proclaimed “female-brained” men don’t seem to realize that the more they push, the more they show themselves to be no different, and arguably more dangerous, than the “cishet white men” that they constantly vilify.

And yet, despite all of their rhetoric that female fertility is apparently so hit or miss, little more than a “concept”, that it can’t be used to define us as a group that comprises over 50% of humanity, they say very different things about trans-identified females (“trans men”, or “transmasc”, as they refer to them).

The ability to become pregnant is, according to them, so rare among the female population as a whole as to negate its relevance in defining ourselves, yet it’s indeed so common among females who identify as males, including those females who have irrevocably damaged their reproductive systems with exogenous testosterone, as to warrant disclaimers in trans spaces that “T IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL!!!”

In fact, it’s practically their mantra.

Their “golden rule of HRT”, as they call it, is that fertility should be assumed if a pregnancy is not desired.  Yes, even “trans men” who have been on testosterone for a decade and are having sex with a “trans woman” whose sperm counts have been decimated by estrogen are absolutely at risk of conceiving if they still have a uterus and ovaries.  Similarly, they say that, if a pregnancy IS desired, then testosterone should be assumed to render the “trans man” incapable of pregnancy.  In other words, the trans-identified female in question is assumed to be fertile prior to taking sterilizing drugs, and is warned that testosterone may make her infertile.  In both cases the default condition is fertility…something that is, again, deemed so uncommon a condition by trans activists as to have no bearing at all on how we define the sexes, yet is acknowledged as the default state for “trans men”.

In their own words:

“Unless hes had a hysterectomy no theres still a chance to get pregnant regardless of how many years he is on T only worse because T makes the lining of the uterus thinner would would make pregnancy more dangerous. Use condoms until they have had that type of surgery. With hormones its expect to get pregnant if you dont want kids or alternatively be sterile if you do want kids” - redditor u/3AngryTurnip

“If neither of you have had a surgery that would sterilize you (Bisalp/bilateral oophorectomy for him, bilateral orchiectomy or bottom surgery for you), that will *always* carry a risk of pregnancy.  Use a condom.” - redditor u/KatFennec

“He can still get pregnant. The chance is low, but it’s there. My doctor warned me about this when starting hrt. That if I was ever going to have sex with someone with a uterus I might still be able to make them pregnant. So I should use protection. (Personally it’s not relevant to my situation)” - redditor u/Necessary-Chicken

“My boyfriend recently found a study finding that roughly one third of transmacs who have stopped menstruating due to HRT still ovulate (https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(24)00063-6). Something on the order of 30% of transfems maintain the ability to produce sperm while on HRT (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8441557/). Pregnancy is definitely still a risk that you need to protect against.” - redditor u/mainsdepapier

“as has been said, t and e aren't contraceptives. there's still a chance of pregnancy if a mtf on hrt ejaculates in a ftm on hrt.” - redditor u/Major_Tart1023

So why do trans activists do this?  Why do they constantly contradict themselves?  Are they hoping to bolster their claims that “men” can get pregnant, by downplaying the number of “cis women” who can get pregnant and inflating the number of “trans men” who can get pregnant?  If that’s the case, why are they so keen on uncoupling the right to an abortion from the powerful category of women’s rights?

But no, that’s not the case.  They’re simply stupid and disorganized, defending an ideology that, at its core, is predicated on mental illness and furthered by perversion and nihilism; an ideology that has no solid foundation and is incoherent at best.  Its adherents are often manic, excitedly inventing new tenets and terminology in their misguided attempt at sticking it to  what they perceive as the patriarchy, and ending up in a sort of ideological Tower of Babel where nobody knows what the fuck anybody else is talking about.

This installment, however, will discuss puberty as it pertains to children, and whether a confused adolescent can avoid their natal puberty and instead embark on the puberty typical of their “gender” (ie the opposite sex).

Short answer: no, they cannot.

The purpose of puberty is to wind up as a sexually mature adult human.  Ovaries in the female produce high levels of estrogen in order to cause the maturation of a girl’s eggs and uterus, and to induce the development of secondary sex characteristics such as breasts. These changes occur so that women can eventually gestate and feed offspring. Testes in the male produce high levels of testosterone in order to cause the production of sperm and the enlargement of a boy’s genitals, and to induce the development of secondary sex characteristics such as muscle mass and height.  These changes occur so that men can eventually produce and protect offspring.  These sex hormones work in conjunction with human growth hormone to result in fully-developed, sexually mature adults.

While estrogen and testosterone, when administered to males and females, respectively, can force the development of some female and male secondary sex characteristics, they cannot cause the maturation of the reproductive organs of the opposite sex.  Estrogen will make a male develop breasts but it cannot cause his testes or prostate to mature, nor can it change his testes into ovaries.  Testosterone will make a female grow more body hair and develop increased muscle mass, but it cannot cause her ovaries to release eggs, nor can it transform her ovaries into testes.

On the contrary, the introduction of wrong sex hormones results in the atrophy and ultimate death of one’s sex organs.  Males who take high levels of estrogen wind up with severely or completely suppressed testosterone, the hormone that is necessary for the health of their male body parts, and the skin of their penises will lose elasticity and weep serous fluid if care isn’t taken to manually maintain erectile function.  Females who take high levels of testosterone wind up with suppressed estrogen, which causes uterine and vaginal atrophy, which can result in necrosis and sepsis, and potentially death if not treated.

A necrotic uterus is not puberty.  Shriveled testes and azoospermia are not puberty.  They are the opposite of puberty.  If your “puberty” involves not the maturation, but the dysfunction and ultimate destruction, of the reproductive organs, then you are grossly misinformed as to the definition of puberty.  If your “puberty” prioritizes winding up with a vague outward shell of the sex you are trying to mimic, while simultaneously rendering you sterile, then you are, again, misunderstanding the function that puberty serves.

There is only one puberty available to us, and it’s the puberty that our body parts dictate.  Our gonads begin pumping out large amounts of hormones at puberty not to affirm the feelings of our “gendered souls”, but to perpetuate the species.  In order to perpetuate the species, our reproductive organs must be mature and healthy. If you’re born with female reproductive organs, you cannot go through a testosterone-based puberty. If you’re born with male reproductive organs, you cannot go through an estrogen-based puberty. Wrong sex hormones destroy reproductive function, the very antithesis of puberty.

None of this surprised me, of course.  It’s no secret that subreddits intended for gay men are allowed to remain just that*, while subreddits intended for lesbian women are militantly inclusive of heterosexual males who call themselves lesbians, and exclusive of homosexual females who are vocal about their strictly same-sex attraction.

*officially gay male subs are supposed to be inclusive as well, but that rule is rarely enforced and gender critical views are tolerated.

While subs for gay men are allowed to have trans-critical posts, subs for lesbians (or just females in general) that disallow males or that speak critically of gender ideology wind up either banned outright or commandeered by larping males, their handmaidens, and/or women who go along with the demands for “inclusivity” simply because they don’t want to see the sub get nuked.  It’s worth noting that the latter capitulation is a common form of self-preservation for females in the face of male ire.

While gender critical content on subreddits for gay males, like r/askgaybros, always garners a few token downvotes and wee miffed transmen in the comments, the material is pretty consistently lauded and is very rarely, if ever, removed.  In contrast, post something gender critical on r/actuallesbians, r/lesbianactually, r/flexinlesbians, r/lesbianfashionadvice, r/women, r/askwomen, r/twoxchromosomes, or even r/pcos, and your content will be deleted and you will be immediately permabanned from the sub.  Lesbians have even been banned from such subs for disapproving of photos that display very obvious, and intentional, outlines of male genitalia.  That’s right - voicing opposition to what is technically online sexual harassment is a bannable offense if you’re a lesbian.

While it’s indeed frustrating that gay males are allowed to keep their subreddits for gay males while females are forced to submit to males in dresses and dick prints in spandex, we shouldn’t hold it against them, especially since, in their gender critical posts, they almost always mention the fact that lesbian subs have it far worse, as they have been completely overrun.

Personally, I’m grateful that such a disparity exists, as it’s a wonderful demonstration that “transwomen” are not, in fact, women, but are males who feel sexually entitled to women and will use male tactics like colonization, dominance, and usurpation to get what they want.  If they can’t invade our bodies they invade our spaces.  They take our words.  They redefine us out of existence.  Similarly, the fact that “transmen” have not dominated gay male subreddits is proof that they are not men, but women.

The demographics of the spaces being overrun/not overrun and the people invading/not invading are no mere coincidence.  By reacting with fury, entitlement, invasion, and colonization to female desires to keep female spaces female, “transwomen” are doing nothing except showing their maleness.  They’re proving that they’re not just men, but that they’re men who are angry enough to resort to male-typical aggressive behaviors in order to get their way.  In stark contrast, by respecting the sexual and social boundaries of males, even in online spaces where physical strength has no bearing on who gets the upper hand, “transmen” are demonstrating their femaleness.

That’s not to say that there aren’t “transmen” who feel entitled to gay male spaces and who push boundaries.  There certainly are, but they have neither the rage nor the online numbers to do much about it other than be annoying.  “Transmen” are the little Goblins across the moat asking the men of Gay Castle to let down the drawbridge.  “Transwomen”, on the other hand, are the hoard of Orcs who overran Minas Lesbian and beheaded and ate the city’s inhabitants, but still cry to the prisoners about how oppressed and genocided they are.

Despite all of this, an oft-repeated talking point among trans people is that they allegedly have the brains of the sex with which they identify.  “Transwomen” in particular love claiming that they have “female brains”.  One needs to simply look at how these men behave both off and online - from their aforementioned entitlement to spaces that aren’t theirs to their male-typical obsession with breasts - to see that such a claim is bogus.

Keep in mind that this is all in spite of cross-sex hormone administration.  A decent percentage of the people I’m talking about are on so-called “HRT”.  The males are pumping themselves full of estrogen and the females are pumping themselves full of testosterone.  They’ll often claim that these hormones change their biology and even their sex.  The males, marinating in computers and gaming and programming as incels tend to be, will often liken their “estrogen dominance” to their “female brains finally running on the correct operating system”.

But if their behavior is anything to go by, they clearly don’t have female brains, and estrogen apparently has little to no effect on them, as they remain just as aggressive and sexually entitled as any other heterosexual male.  As for transmen, the fact that they haven’t overrun subreddits intended for gay men suggests that neither their “gender identity” nor their testosterone intake have overtaken their innate femaleness.

To summarize, the content that’s allowed on gay male subreddits vs whats allowed on gay female subreddits is a wonderful illumination of the nature of those who demand, but definitionally do not have, membership in those groups.

When we discuss the trans-identified female (TIF, or, as they prefer, “transman”), we’re talking about a group that largely likes to pick and choose.

That is, they will select female sex characteristics that they personally do not like, or which do not benefit them, and will file them away into a box labeled “What Men Don’t Have/To Be Removed”, even if those things can absolutely be had by men. They will then select female sex characteristics that they do personally like, or which benefit them, and will file them away into a box labeled “What Men Have”, even if those things can absolutely never be found in biological males.

For example, TIFs will select the aspects of femaleness that they hate, such as breasts, and will unanimously decide that men don’t have those (even though men absolutely can due to obesity and/or hormonal imbalances), and will get them removed.  Then they’ll select the aspects of femaleness that benefit them, such as the capacity for pregnancy, and will unanimously decide that men also have the ability to get pregnant (even though men literally do not). This is how we wound up in the territory of “Men do NOT have breasts thus I must remove mine in order to be a man…but also I’ll keep my female reproductive system because men can absolutely, 100% get pregnant.”

That said, TIFs are also more likely to be unhappy with, and look for ways to avoid, many of the side effects that come with testosterone, than TIMs are with estrogen.  As stated above, TIFs categorize men and women based on the attributes that they personally like or do not like. Check out r/ftm and you won’t have to scroll for long before you run into a post lamenting or trying to find a way around the growth of excessive body hair and/or the loss of head hair.  These women routinely discuss hair loss treatments such as minoxidil. Other topics include remedying vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse.  While a good percentage of TIMs will look for ways to avoid/slow penile atrophy due to taking estrogen, they do so because well, they’re men and men wanna have sex.  Many TIMs are also married, and often if they wish to preserve their marriage, sex has to remain on the table (not literally). They also often wish to retain penile size so that the material can be utilized in a future penile-inversion vaginoplasty (…and the numerous revisions that come after).  Penile atrophy notwithstanding, overall TIMs want the whole shebang from estrogen.  TIFs, on the other hand, often want to pick and choose what traits they receive based on their own idealized notions of masculinity.  They typically don’t want to turn into werewolves or look like Farmer Bob!  They want to be uwu softbois smol beans like their favorite K-Pop stars!  Get rid of the breasts, lose some weight from the hip area and grow a little uwu pencil stache and they’re satisfied!  Other stuff, like hair loss, very deep voices, growth of thick, dark body hair, acne, stronger body odor, rage, weight gain, vaginal atrophy, clitoral enlargement, and elevated cholesterol often make them even more dysphoric, sometimes to suicidal extremes. Many TIFs find themselves accidentally transitioning into a form of body horror from which they cannot escape, all because they could not come to terms with their body’s natural development.  In fact, in contrast to the users of r/MtF, nearly all of whom know exactly what to expect from estrogen*, many of the users of r/ftm are legitimately taken aback by many of the changes or side effects that they see on testosterone.  These are often severely mentally ill young women, and girls whose frontal lobes aren’t fully developed, who do not know what they’re agreeing to when they give informed consent.

*the occasional post asking r/MtF users to list the bodily changes from estrogen that genuinely surprised them will be filled 99% with fun, cutesy, and often erotic findings such as “I got girl horny/a girlgasm uwu!”, and “my skin is sooooooo soft now I’m so in love with myself teehee!”.  Others claim that their eyes change color and that they experience gender-affirming height loss. Compare this to r/ftm, in which a large number of posts are titled things like “HELP I’m losing my hair and look like my grandpa!  What do I do?!?!?!” or “I didn’t know to expect vaginal dryness!  Now it hurts when I have sex 😢”.

The TIF tendency to only want certain aspects of masculinization and not others is due largely to the social contagion factor of transgenderism that, just like with most other social contagions, typically affects females.  They don’t want “full masculinization” because they’re not committed to it.  Because it’s a fad.  It’s something that they see their peers swept up in, it’s something that white girls in particular think will give them social currency, especially in this age of “evil white woman tears are responsible for black men dying”, and it’s something that they think will make them interesting. This lack of commitment is also a likely explanation for why, while most TIMs refer to themselves as “transwomen” or “transgirls” instead of “transfemme”, most TIFs refer to themselves not as “transmen” or “transboys”, but as “transmasc”.

Another thing to consider is that one of the largest non-social reasons for girls and young women identifying out of femaleness is sexual abuse and a desire to try to avoid the sexualization that sadly comes with being female, especially a pubescent female.  The desire to take steps to avoid sexual abuse isn’t something that’s wanted.  It’s seen as a necessity. In a similar vein, many of these young girls likely believe that merely removing their female characteristics and becoming androgynous, and not necessarily replacing them with full on male characteristics, is sufficient to ward off sexual predators. Thus the drastic, full-body, irreversible, and often unexpected swing to the masculine is very much unwanted. A fetish-riddled TIM who gets sexually excited just at the thought of women’s clothing is going to be far more committed to, and happy with the results of, medical “transition”, than a 15 year old girl who is desperately trying to rid her body of its female qualities out of fear of sexual violence. The former wants to do what he’s doing, and enjoys the process. The latter feels that she must do what she’s doing, and is too preoccupied with anxiety to feel anything remotely close to enjoyment. I feel like this is a good opportunity to point out that both the TIM and TIF in these scenarios are motivated by male sexuality - the former is motivated by his own sexuality and fetishes, and the desire to see them fulfilled, while the latter is motivated by her desire to escape the clutches of male sexuality before it has the chance to prey on her.

In closing, I’ll leave you with this:

To anyone who buys into the lie that biological sex isn’t real, or that transwomen are women and transmen are men, I urge you to look at the behaviors and motivations of TIMs vs TIFs. Which group is more in line with typical males, and which group is more in line with typical females? Even just a brief glance at trans subreddits should be enough to immediately put to bed the “Transwomen have female brains and transmen have male brains” theory.

The truth: Yes, vulvas indeed have some variety in appearance; some have very small labia minora while some have very long ones, among other differences.  The anatomy, however, is still the same, just with some variation from one woman to the next.  Are your facial features 100% the same as the man standing next to you?  No?  Barring developmental/genetic anomalies, you probably still consider humans to have the same facial anatomy, though - eyes, a nose, a mouth, a chin, cheeks, etc.  Well, barring developmental/genetic anomalies, females have the same genital anatomy - labia minora, labia majora, clitoris, vaginal canal, urethra.  Our features may look a bit different from woman to woman, but that’s because humans aren’t all identical twins.  Some women have long labia minora just as some people have a big nose, or plump lips.  So while our female anatomy can vary a bit in appearance (size, color, etc), it’s still the same anatomy with the same cellular structure and same functions.  So yes, there is an array of vulvar appearances, but they’re all made, in utero, of the same tissue, and have the same function.  What they’re not made of, however, is male genital tissue.  One thing that’s exactly the same about 100% of vulvas is that they weren’t surgically constructed with penile and scrotal tissue.  A “vulva” that has been created from penile and scrotal tissue falls nowhere within the range of normal vulvar appearance, because it’s not a vulva.  Female genitals, by definition, cannot be constructed with male anatomy.

The “logic”: “Yes but technically penises/scrotums and vaginas/labias are made from the same tissue, because they developed from the same fetal root tissue.  They’re just arranged differently.”

The truth: Except they’re not the same tissue.  Technically your entire digestive system developed from the same fetal root tissue.  Are you trying to say that your esophagus and your large intestine are the same exact tissue, just at opposite ends of your body, or that your pancreas and kidneys are the same tissue, or do you accept that cellar differentiation occurred somewhere during the course of fetal development and created separate tissues, separate organs, etc?  Physical and functional changes indicate cellular changes.  The fact alone that a penis looks nothing like a vagina, and has capabilities that a vagina does not, should be enough to tell you that they’re composed of different tissues.  The fact that scrotal skin has ridges and is capable of contracting depending on temperature (which it continues to do even when formed into “labia”) should be enough to tell you that scrotal skin and labial skin are quite different.

The “logic”: “If they aren’t analogous why do girldicks get sticky on estrogen?  The cells are obviously trying to produce vaginal fluids.”

The truth: See my first episode in the Trans Myths series titled This is Your Penis on Estrogen.  But to summarize quickly: no, your penis isn’t turning into a vaginal canal, it’s merely sick.  Very, very sick.

“I’m going through second puberty!  Girls grow breasts when they go through puberty, and I’m growing breasts, so I’m going through another puberty uwu!”

The truth:

No, you’re not.  Puberty includes the growth of breasts in young females, but breast growth is but an element of a much larger developmental process that involves the entire body.

Puberty, in essence, is the development of a child into a fully-grown, sexually mature adult.

In girls it includes the growth of breasts and the beginning of menstruation, which signals fertility.  Her uterus will continue to mature for several years in preparation for eventual pregnancy, and the labia will develop and sometimes darken slightly in color.

In boys it includes penile and testicular growth, their maturation allowing for the production and ejaculation of sperm.

In both sexes puberty includes the attainment of adult height, the fusing of bone plates, the growth of internal organs, and the maturation of the brain, allowing for informed decision-making.

A fully-grown, fertile adult male cannot go through puberty again.  His has already occurred, and is responsible for his aforementioned sexually mature, adult body, and his higher-than-sixth grade intelligence level.  That’s the main goal of puberty - to change a child into a fertile adult.  Adding artificially-high levels of a hormone that a male body is not supposed to produce in such quantities can certainly trick his dormant mammary glands into growing, but that’s pretty much as far as the alterations can go.  As stated in Trans Myths, part 1, development cannot occur backwards.  What an estrogenized male might believe is his penis attempting to “un-develop” into a vagina, is merely his male organ being starved of the male hormones it needs to stay healthy, thus losing its elasticity, and subsequently developing micro tears in the skin that weep serous fluid.

The estrogen itself isn’t having any effect on the organs that are exclusively male.  It can certainly signal the mammary glands to develop, because those are glands that males and females happen to share.  It can possibly lead to softer skin, again because skin is an organ that females and males share.  The penis and testicles, however, aren’t shrinking in direct response to the high levels of estrogen, but to the low or nonexistent testosterone, which can be suppressed by antiandrogens, castration, or by extremely high doses of estrogen.

In short, an adult male taking estrogen and experiencing physical changes isn’t going through a female puberty, as physical maturation can only happen once.  The non-sex-specific parts of his body can be induced to undergo limited changes, which in no way amount to puberty, and his exclusively-male organs can only become sick and wither away in response to deprivation of the one hormone they need to be healthy. That, again, is not puberty.

The issue at hand was “What is a woman?” I’m in bold and the TRA is in italics.

Me: “A woman is an adult human female.  Female is the sex that is of the nature to have the capacity for pregnancy.”

TRA: “Your definition of female excludes cis women who can’t get pregnant, cis women without ovaries, or cis women who never menstruated, so it really makes more sense to define woman as anyone who identifies as a woman.”

Me: “First of all, you just acknowledged the existence of the female sex when you used the words ‘cis woman’.  You literally just invalidated your own argument.  If ‘cis’ means ‘on the same side as’, and the definition of ‘cis woman’ is ‘a woman who identifies with her female sex assigned at birth’, that means that female is ‘on the same side as’ woman.  ‘Cis’ women are female.  Females do not have to ‘cross over’ any sort of barrier in order to be women, because we’re already there, already on the ‘same side’.  We’re the blueprint.  Female is the default woman.”

“Second, if woman doesn’t mean adult human female, then why do trans-identified males do everything in their power, including undergoing experimental surgeries, to mimic the primary and secondary sex characteristics of females?  While it’s true that the vast majority of trans-identifying males never receive genital surgery, most of them still undergo other medical ‘gender-affirming’ care, with the goals of altering their physical bodies; these days it’s hard to find a TIM who isn’t on estrogen at the very least.  Planned Parenthood hands it out like candy, endocrinologists have never been busier, and there’s always DIY for those men whose doctors know better than to prescribe them off-label drugs.  TIMs on estrogen measure their breast growth meticulously, and gush over how much their body fat has ‘redistributed’ into female areas.  Many speak of ‘phantom vagina’ sensations, and nearly all will either lament or celebrate their ‘passability’.  How is physically ‘passing’ as female the goal of transition if there’s no such thing as female?  What does ‘passing’ mean if there’s no baseline for comparison?  If there’s nothing to pass as?”

“You talk about the female sex being undefinable since any definition that relies on biological traits will allegedly ‘exclude’ certain females (hint: it won’t, as the ‘of the nature to’ condition is still met), yet 99% of TIMs have undertaken at least one measure, even if it’s something as simple as wearing breast forms, to mimic the physical characteristics of the female sex.  For all their talk that ‘woman is a gender, not a sex’ their desire to resemble the female sex seems to outweigh their desire to simply wear dresses.”

“We’re told by people like you that the mere suggestion that females are of the nature to have the capacity for pregnancy is bioessentialism, bigotry, and 1950s misogyny that sees women as little more than walking wombs.  Yet once a day on r/MtF there’s a TIM who’s practically suicidal over the fact that his ‘infertility’ (read: self-inflicted, possibly reversible, dysfunction of his male reproductive system) makes him less of a woman.  How do you reconcile that with your insistence that relatively rare female infertility and/or developmental disorders make the category of female impossible to define?  Having interacted online with multiple ‘pregnancy-sad’ TIMs, I can tell you that reminding them that ‘plenty of cis women can’t get pregnant, either’ only brings out their aggression and makes them devolve into teenage boys who have just had the worst insult thrown at them.  Those furious men don’t fall for your rhetoric; they’re well aware that women are females and that females of a certain age are supposed to be able to get pregnant.  So please tell me - if females don’t exist and thus woman doesn’t mean adult human female, then why is the foundational aspect of transgenderism the mimicry not of the opposite ‘gender’, but of the opposite sex?”

TRA: “We associate women with feminine traits because most AFAB people identify as women, thus people associate female characteristics with the gender of woman.”

Me: “You just said female characteristics.  What are female characteristics if females don’t exist?”

TRA: “Typically a vagina, ovaries, a uterus, and breasts.”

Me: “And yet, according to you, there are so few people in the world who have all of those physical parts that it’s impossible to use them to define the female sex.  Now you’re saying that those physical parts in conjunction with one another are actually so common that when people see them they immediately think of the ‘woman gender’.  Not a physical sex, which would make sense in the context of physical, biological and anatomical characteristics, but a nebulous, undefinable, intangible ‘gender’ that resides in the deep recesses of people’s brains. Trans activism seems dedicated to throwing a wrench in its own logic at every turn.”

TRA: “I’m blocking you now. I wanted to give you a chance but it’s evident you’re not arguing in good faith.”

“HRT is attempting to transform my penile shaft into a vaginal canal.  It’s shrinking and the skin has lost its elasticity and is leaking vaginal fluids!”

The truth:

No, it’s not.  Your penis isn’t responding to the estrogen but rather to the lack of testosterone. Your male organ has become very very sick due to the lack of the male hormone required to keep it healthy.  It appears to be shrinking due to the loss of elasticity in the skin, and that loss of elasticity is due to it being strangled of testosterone and not allowed to get random maintenance erections.

Surely if your penis was attempting to turn itself into a vagina, to the extent that it’s “leaking vaginal fluids” (it’s not, we’ll get there), it would GAIN elasticity.  Try to recall that the vagina is a muscular organ which can not only lengthen in preparation for sex, but stretch to accommodate a baby’s entire head and then snap back to normal.  Your penis would be getting stronger and larger, not weaker and smaller and brittle, if the estrogen was attempting to induce vaginal behavior out of it. 

As for the leakage of “vaginal fluids” through the skin, well…they’re not vaginal fluids.  Vaginal fluids are produced by the vaginal mucosa - the mucus membrane that lines the vaginal canal - as well as by the cervix.  The unbroken epidermis that covers the penis will not produce fluid other than sweat.  It will, however, become unhealthy and dry out as it’s robbed of the testosterone necessary to keep it in working order; naturally, as a male-exclusive organ, it relies on male hormones.

The fluid that is oozing out of your penile skin is in all likelihood serous fluid, which is the clear, colorless or pale yellow fluid, sometimes with a very faint odor, that leaks or “weeps” from wounds.  Many transwomen report that their dry penile skin is painful, particularly if a partial or full erection is achieved.  This is likely the result of micro and macro tears caused by the dry and non-elastic skin being stretched past its limit and breaking.  While not being deep enough to produce blood, they instead weep serous fluid, which often emerges from the skin as little beads and can feel slippery when fresh and sticky when dry.

The myth (part 2):

“Oh yeah?  Well my transmasc friend is growing his clit out on T!  It’s trying to turn it into a penis!  So estrogen is clearly trying to turn my girldick into a vagina!”

The truth:

While it’s true that your friend’s clitoris is lengthening, it’s not turning into a penis.  Testosterone, while powerful, can still only do so much.  Your friend merely has a large clitoris, not a penis.  Testosterone does not have the power to rewire her genitourinary system; that can only occur during fetal development.

One could certainly argue that in your friend’s case, yes, testosterone is *attempting* to force her female genitals to mimic male ones, though there’s only so far they can go.  But that’s not the case with your penis and estrogen.  It’s the same reason why testosterone produces changes that are irreversible, like voice deepening, broadening of the shoulders/chest, height, and facial masculinization - because bodies can continue to develop features with the addition of testosterone, but they cannot go back to the former pre-testosterone state.  A female can grow a pseudo “penis” (to a limited extent) on testosterone, but a male cannot un-grow his and reverse development; he can only make his organs very sick.  Estrogen simply cannot override the changes that testosterone caused, because development only happens in one direction.  You can’t unbake a cake.

The myth (part 3):

“But penises and vaginas are literally the SAME tissue, just arranged differently!  They literally started off as the same fetal structure before hormones told them to branch off!  Therefore my penis is indeed trying to deconstruct itself back into a vagina thanks to the estrogen that I’m putting in my body!”

The truth:

The beauty of fetal development is that the fetus, well…develops.  We literally begin as two cells.  That’s it.  An egg and a sperm meet, and that’s us.  So by your logic, because those two tiny cells divided and eventually formed my entire body, then my liver and my pancreas must be the same exact tissue, just arranged differently.  Except that they’re not the same tissue.  Far from it.  Why not?  Well because as things develop, they change.  They differentiate.  If development didn’t cause change at the cellular level, we’d all look like formless blobs, wouldn’t we?  The fact that the penis and the vagina look and function so differently should be more than enough to tell you that they’re vastly different in cellular structure as well.  You can’t achieve an epidermal layer to the penis, in contrast with the mucosa of the vaginal, without tissue and thus cellular changes.  And these changes occur during early fetal development - an adult man cannot reverse the clock and try to force his developed tissue to revert back to its pre-differentiated fetal state.

Many MtF surgeries utilize the scrotal tissue to form the “labia”.  These results are highly clockable due to the appearance and nature of the scrotum.  Its deeply-ridged characteristics are quite visually different from the typically smooth skin of the labia majora.  It behaves differently, too.  There are in fact videos from post-op transwomen that demonstrate that the contractile nature of the scrotal tissue endures even after it’s been surgically reformed; labial tissue, in contrast, does not expand and contract in response to temperature.  This is a good demonstration of the fact that, despite originating from the same root, male and female genitals are composed of different tissue that look and function very differently.

To conclude, estrogen isn’t turning back the clock, it’s merely damaging your male anatomy. It may be difficult to hear, but male and female organs are not composed of interchangeable tissue in different arrangements. While females may demonstrate limited growth of the clitoris when flooded with high levels of testosterone, they do not develop into penises, as the penis is the organ that conducts urine and sperm out of the body.
