Looking for a Lemmy instance with the following :
- free speech friendly
- federated with all instances except csam
- allows bot majority communities
Edit: I would define free speech as speech that doesn’t make an actionable call for violence. If some one the extremist instances have defederated then that’s fine.
I’ve already read the paper that article cites. They say after 12months their is no differences between trans women and cis women of equivalent size and height in the same article they say those 2 things give an advantage, u can’t have ur cake and eat it. What you are also implying is that u have to undergo 12months or hormone treatment to be trans.
Dude.
Dude.
Just don’t, okay.
You don’t have the training or background to interpret the data on the subject, and have obviously not done due diligence on the matter. You are talking out of your ass based on not understanding what is going on.
Part of that is shitty writing on other people’s part; a lot of articles out there are written by people that don’t actually understand what they’re writing about, so when people read them, it gets even worse.
But there’s a bloody reason why nobody with a degree relevant to the matter of advantages or disadvantages of medical transition comes down as it being an inherent and universal advantage. It just isn’t.
I’m saying this because there’s a good chance you don’t intend to parrot bad information, that you think you’ve done enough reading on the subject to have a good grasp of it. But you haven’t. Stop trying to be some kind of free speech martyr and go back to the books. Go back and do more than just read pop science level articles.
Also, the “of equivalent size and height” part doesn’t mean what you think it means.
When two people of the same mass and height are equivalent, that means there isn’t an advantage in one of them being trans. A cis woman that’s taller and more muscled than their competitors has the same advantage as the trans woman. That’s what it means, that size matters, but transition doesn’t. There’s no contradiction in that.
Now, if you want to argue about how long after beginning hormone treatments a trans person needs to wait before competing in their sport of choice as their confirmed gender, that’s cool. But, since you don’t just change clothes and start competing as it is, you’ll find it’s a pointless argument.
The process of transition is longer and more complicated than you seem to think. People aren’t just jumping up, declaring that they’re trans and trying to compete with cis women the next day. It doesn’t work like that at all. By the time a trans woman or girl is competing against cis women, they have been undergoing hormonal treatment.
I’m gonna ignore ur condescending insults that are vaguely dressed up as educating. And get right to the point.
I don’t think u quite understand the issue here. I agree a cis women of similar size and heigh to a trans women will be relatively equivalent.
I’m sure we can agree that a cis man will be larger and taller than a cis women (I shouldn’t need to specify but on average).
Given this and that the size and height are not significantly reduced post transition we can then conclude that a trans women will be larger and taller then a cis women. And ur paper acknowledges that a larger size and height are advantageous.
I think u may have missed the forest through the trees.
Ohh and I am absolutely qualified to read a scientific paper and interpret a graph.
