Internaut! posted:Don't forget muscle mass to go along with that huge skeleton. are we? my understanding is that there's maybe one case of that anyone can point to, and even in that case someone went from a top-ten finisher as a man pre-transition to a top-ten finisher as a woman post-transition. it's just that republicans seized on the fact that mid-transition her performance understandably declined to say "hey look at this awful men's swimmer suddenly becoming a great women's swimmer." i wouldn't be shocked to hear one existed, you gotta imagine there's some athlete somewhere whose performance has been held back more by the lack of gender affirming care than by spending several years transitioning, but as yet nobody's been able to show me one that wasn't transparent horseshit

VitalSigns posted:For some reason it's cracking me up that this person thinks gender reassignment is a viable strategy to get out of sexual assault charges by becoming a woman. there is a phenomenon you see a lot in british terfs- if nothing else, thanks are due to our pal from earlier in the thread for demonstrating how flat out weird those people are- where their problems with trans people are inextricably tied to preexisting bizarre gender role hangups. somewhere in their heads, the thought 'the cops can't go after a gay woman for sexual assault' has been sitting as an assumed fundamental truth of the universe, and so when they start scrambling for a justification for their fears of trans people they push it out there, and react very badly to being told "no, that is not how this has ever worked." you'd think, if that was a genuine concern, learning that it is not now and has never been a 'problem' would be reassuring. but no, it enrages them more. bizarre stuff.
