terfs are saying ‘males’ have a different smell to ‘females’ in their lists of Undeniable sex characteristics like buddy you could at least google what estrogen does because that’s Literally​ the first thing. u completely lose that testosterone smell in around the first fortnight and ur body odour completely changes chemically

please do basic research from anything that isn’t another TERF it’s really embarrassing to correct you on the simplest things that are literally on wikipedia

but no ur “trans women are identical in every way to men” thing is just too useful to give up isn’t it….

the Worst thing is, when TERFs start glorifying their ability to self lubricate. like they’ll repeatedly bring it up and often go into detail desribing it to show how self-lubrication makes them a Complete and Authentic Wombyn with an Authentic Vagina. because they’ve read that post-op trans women’s vaginas don’t have the ability to self lubricate. so that becomes the new Qualifier of Femaleness.

who’s going to tell them

how TERFs think the world works

Man on the street: Excuse me, could I please see your karyotype, birth certificate, and a picture of your genitalia? I was going to sexually harass you, but then I remembered you may not be assigned female at birth.
Transwoman: Actually, I’m a trans””””woman”””””. Take a look at my Y chromosome!
Man on the street: Oh, sorry my Dude! Carry on then, my fellow Male comrade in the war against true wombyn.
Transwoman: Good luck! I’m going to go to the women’s restroom and harass women there. That is, after all, the only reason I went through hormone replacement, voice therapy, hair removal, facial surgery, and cut off ties with people I care about but did not respect my decision.

You receive socialisation from the second you are born. Far before you have theory of mind. It is there in how you are held and talked to as an infant.

what

terfs, this isn’t a sociological process you’re trying to describe anymore. This framework doesn’t actually fit into anything else we know about child development, the human brain, actual scientific ideas about socialisation.

imagine trying to get this shit peer-reviewed? “male and female socialisation, processes we can only describe as the socialisation that males and​ females undergo respectively, are completely infallible, universal, and begin at the moment of birth despite infants having none of the brain pathways necessary”. where’s the evidence for any of this?

and if it begins at birth, when does it end? at what age can socialisation be said to have been “completed”? have you noticed there isn’t any sociological literature that describes socialisation in the way that TERFs do? the science just doesn’t agree with you, im sorry

My favorite experience on the internet was the time I saw a lesbian on a doctor who forum make a thread about her desire to see “a lesbian dalek.” There was this one dude who got SO ANGRY about it that she and a bunch of other users pulled up a bunch of references proving that Daleks have a concept of gender and use gendered language to identify one another, and how some Daleks (like the Cult of Skaro) are designed to understand and weaponize human emotion, and made this really compelling argument that a lesbian Dalek could exist without violating any of the show’s canon

And the dude just got like really upset and was finally like “HOW WOULD SHE KNOW WHICH OTHER DALEKS ARE WOMEN, THEY ALL WEAR IDENTICAL CASINGS” and this one poster who hadn’t said anything up to this point just said “you know other species besides daleks have women too” and he literally just responded with “AAAAAAAAARGH”

The best part though was that this dude clearly read every single thread on the board (and corrected everyone who said anything about anything), so this lady would occasionally mention her “lesbian Dalek OC” in passing and within a few hours he’d show up with an all-caps, multi-paragraph, misspelled, profanity-laden rant about how there can’t be a lesbian Dalek and how she should stop punishing him for “being a heterosexual”

it’s canon now
