Yay great to see my favourite community on Lemmy now!! ❤️

I use https://wefwef.app on iOS. Lightweight and reminds me of Apollo

Which model do you find works best?

I wouldn’t expect bots like that to not have cameras installed. Don’t know how someone thought they could get away with trying to steal one

Welcome!! I use wefwef and it’s just like Apollo from the old days https://wefwef.app/ got used to it very quickly! Sadly many communities and users have not migrated, that’s the biggest problem 😔

If I were to hazard a guess… long queues at the GP, not knowing if a lady doctor would be the one they see, or if she will judge them for their life choices…

Wonder how the world population would look like if this was true

To me this is just semantics. A baby is born. Gender assigned at birth = female = biological woman = cis woman. I hope I didn’t offend as it wasn’t my intention; it wasn’t supposed to imply that trans women aren’t women in any way.

But I am not transgender and I would like to be supportive and understand how to best support our trans sisters and also understand what is considered hate speech. I honestly don’t understand why cis woman is an okay term to use while biological woman isn’t.

So thank you for sharing your point of view, and I would also appreciate it if you could share resources about how to improve my understanding/be more supportive of trans people.

I feel like we are just splitting hairs here. I probably wasn’t careful enough with my use of the words “gender” and “sex”.

Maybe I wasn’t clear, but I support trans rights. Yes, trans women are women. Trans men are men.

But my problem is with OP’s statement that biological women don’t exist. Just because trans women are women too, doesn’t mean that biological women don’t exist. Or that using “biological women” as a term is discriminatory against trans women.

My intention of pointing out the difference in physical traits between biological women and biological men is to just show that if there’s no biological women, then there won’t be any biological men. So then there won’t be a difference in the way humans experience the world (through the different physical traits we have). I hope that makes more sense.

Please help me follow your train of thought here. Do I understand correctly that it is something like— because trans women on HRT share the same biological traits that are experienced by cis women, there’s no such thing as “biological women”?

Thanks for the response. But how does this support the argument that biological women doesn’t exist?

Tell me, I’m ready

I accept trans women as women socially.

But to say womanhood is a just social construct is unbelievably wrong. I mean, I wish it was just a social construct because then I wouldn’t be struggling so much more than a biological man to do a pull up.

There are many biological differences between the genders that are not social constructs— baseline strength, body fat distribution, monthly uncontrollable bleeding etc.

It’s not meant to be disrespectful or discriminatory to trans women, it’s just how things are.

What brand?
