I remember when doctors made pre-op transexuals wait two years and live as a woman for two years. Because it was men who were having these sex changes. And after they'd lived socially that way for two years and genuinely lived that way, not just thrown a wig on, the doctor would start the ball rolling for them to have a sex change, what we used to call it and we still knew it was colloquial and not a literal sex change and I assume so did those transexuals.

Do you mean osteoporosis? If so one young girl developed that within 2 years of hormones.

@drk7031 I'm in my 40s. The first time I started my period I bled in my skirt at school. Luckily had tights on. I was 14. It wasnt nice but we know its coming. I found my body changes more uncomfortable in both physical/mental sense. I still dont like how my vagina looks or how genitals look in general. But Id rather be female than be male and have unwanted erections.

Its gone up 4000%. That should be cause for alarm to any normal thinking person

That's where anti-racist activists seem to think we are still living. They have of course managed to push us back 50 years. They are not liberal nor are they progressive.

It's not men. It's both men and women. Same as people against abortion are also women . I'm pro-choice but I can see things as they are

Can I ask as this seems to be a thing specific to America. In UK we have tomboys, girls who play with cars dress in trousers and noone thinks of them as boys. I'm struggling to understand why this happens in America regarding stereotypes. We have butch lesbians and effeminate gay men and it's never been an issue stereotype-wise.

@irtehpwn09 testosterone may make men more competitive plus they're more risk-taking and also as they are stronger they prob feel they can get away with violence and crime more. In UK young, males are more likely to.be in gangs. I imagine it's the same elsewhere.

And cancer and osteoporosis

Well the treatment currently is transitioning. For those who are legit its seems to be the only thing to help them. For those not really meant to become trans they need to have alternative counselling.

@techguy651 but do their brains develop that way through nurture? So men who grow up feminine have feminine-looking brains. That because they think mire like women their brains develop more that way. It would have to be more concrete brain diff for it to be nature vs nurture. However there are hermaphrodites who have opposite inner organs to outer organs and yet they dint gave dysphoria. So to me it seems to be not due to nature in that context unless maybe the mother had certain hormones in her body during gestation such as the contraceptive pill which maybe effects development.

There's hope. I used to say gender is a spectrum and think kids should transition. Jordan Peterson changed that. People will come around. But it will be after many people have fallen foul to the system.

@megankwisdom no. Nick tends to talk over his male interviewees too. This is the first female I've seen him interview.

@CountArtha aggression and confidence apparently.

@ludwigvonsowell5347 no woman likes period or discharge. They're embarrassing, gross. It makes you feel unhygienic even if you've washed you're body will produce discharge which will naturally smell. It's horrible. I hate it. :( and there is nothing I can do to reduce it as it's a cyclical thing the body does to apparently clean itself.

The doctors during 1930s Germany also thought they were doing the right thing killing babies and children with deformities.

So my comment got removed so I'll try again. There needs to be more of an organised movement by detr@ns to get people to listen. Maybe start a page on Fbk and have people post their stories. Its more personable. And people can see how common this is and seeing a real person speaking about this hits home more. Like TullipR's tweets.
