    Yes, it is the people who are against the corporate AI offerings who are guilty of groupthink, not me!



    They have a comment in the first page of their post history that’s “23 months on e”

    Edit: I viewed their post history from your instance and that specific comment is only on the 3rd page, but there’s still plenty of activity in transfem and womens’ spaces (specifically womensstuff actually, telling a man they’re in the wrong place!)


    Their post history is immediately /c/transgender and /c/transfem so I’m inclined to believe yes. What about their comment, aside from the fact that you appear to disagree that meat eaters benefit from the exploitation of non-human animals, led you to ask them this question? The point they make is a good one.



    It looks like they have their hair in a ponytail/bun in the first image so its hard to say how long their hair actually is there. From the strands hanging out, it seems reasonable that it reached the 4mo length 2 months later


    Holy gender envy you look so pretty even when you were super early into your transition!




    Sounds like a fun weekend with my girlfriends


    Wow thats crazy they changed the address for the venue to exactly where I live whoa what a wild world

    (Jokes aside have fun! You look great!)


    Tbf I’d prefer that to stroking someone when I tried to shove them. Stroking them just isn’t in the realm of possible outcomes when an experienced combatant tries to shove someone.


    Anthropic is a different company to openai - its closer to the beginning of your example, and then someone else recalling the time they shot some bullets and they went back and checked for bodies and found 3


    That hook from the Shania Twain song makes more and more sense every day.

    “Man, I feel like a woman!” I’ll scream it from the rooftops


    Ayo you’re pulling off tomboys? I got some people who’d like to meet


    You directly accused me of internalised transphobia. I mentioned that internalized transphobia may be a factor in some people’s attachment to the concept. Disengage.


    Ew. I have nothing more to say to you if you’re gonna start asserting things about me. Disengaging from this conversation and I hope you will too.



    Again, it isn’t a mistake - I am criticising the label not because it is imperfect, but because it is not a meaningful label. I would appreciate if you would consider the fact that I heard you the first time and disagree for a reason, not out of ignorance.

    I understand where you’re coming from with behaviour and mannerism adjustment - I had not (until yourself) seen these aspects held under the nebulous umbrella of “male socialization”, at least not when it comes to the kinds of things that binary trans women would be looking to change in an effort to be perceived as feminine. Perhaps this is the correct term for that, but I’m not convinced

    As a binary trans woman who is intentionally performing gender in a mostly traditional way, I wouldn’t begin to gatekeep trans identities or invalidate the experiences of binary trans people. For all the conversation about behaviour and mannerism adjustment, I would have instead been using the terms “femininity” and “masculinity”, or “traditional X gender presentation”, especially given the widespread adoption of the term “male socialization” as a piece of transphobic rhetoric. I believe the aforementioned two terms to be more well defined, generally applicable, and less prone to centering the conversation on a gender they do not identify with.

    If it is useful to you to use this term in this way, more power to you. I shouldn’t, can’t, and won’t prevent you from doing so.
