MEAGAN / Me-again

When I first transitioned everything was so exciting finally being able to wear the clothes & make up the shopping the body changes it was all so self absorbing.
I was so excited about these changes I started talking about my self in the 3rd person for a while, “look At Kirsti’s new handbag”. My three daughters nicknamed me Meagan which was short for me-again.
As a trans woman the journey your undertaking is such a difficult road especially at this point of our history as the transgender community we are being attacked more then ever from all fronts we seem to be the political pawn on both sides of politics.
I am nearing 20yrs of transitioned life the start of my transition was without a doubt the most difficult. At this time your body & mind are going through massive changes at times it’s like living life on a roller coaster so many ups n downs, twists n turns.
My advice to others starting their transitions is to enjoy this ride sister. As an old girl who made a lot of mistakes along my journey a couple of words of advice;

You don’t need acceptance from everyone just focus your energies & love on those peeps that do support you.
Never lose your core values n beliefs along the way, I did so I put my old self on my shoulder as a guardian angel, my old self wasn’t all bad the day I put Warren bac on my Shoulder was the day that I felt completeness in who I truly always was.
Be the type of woman you have always wanted to be and be proud of yourself.
You will make mistakes along the way I did, every woman needs time to find their true selves. I was like Baby Spice at 1st then Scary Spice I even became Slutty Spice for a while now I have found my true self being Sporty Grandma Spice❤️

And remember it's not hormones or surgery that makes us women. If you tell me your my sister you are my sister❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s really disappointing seeing so many transphobes going all in against Lia Thomas because they saw a picture of her with a gold medal and saw some claim that she went from “462nd as a male (completely unsourced by the way,
I challenge you to actually find when she was ever ranked 462nd (which, to be perfectly clear, 462 out of ~11000 college male swimmers is still in the top 5%)to 1st as a female (winning first place in one event & losing two events at a meet with 21 events doesn’t rank you #1)”.
I would put money down that most of those attacking don’t know the results from the 2022 NCAA D1 Swimming & Diving Championships, and they have only probably only heard about this one event that Thomas won.

10 years ago I was homeless living on the streets of Sydney after surviving a gang rape. I nearly gave up.

10 years on and I have almost 5000 beautiful friends.

Never give up you never know what tomorrow will bring❤️❤️
When I was homeless in 2011, I was given the most beautiful meal at the Sikh Temple in Gelnwood. It was the first day in 12 months that I felt completely safe and I was not being judged. I will be forever grateful for that day.
No one at the Temple cared that I was a transgender woman they didn't care if I wasn't bathed they just treated me kindly. I could not carry all the takeaway food that was given to me. I had survived a gang rape only a year before. The men at that Temple made me feel safe again.

“IN FACT”

There is no clear biological list of features that allow us to even remotely cleanly separate men from women.

Chromosomes? NOPE

Testosterone? NOPE

Height? NOPE

Vo2 Max? NOPE

Haemoglobin? NOPE

Weight? NOPE

Bone Density? NOPE
FUN FACT: Male and female muscle is the same strength when comparing equivalent cross section/size (Costill et al., 1976; Schantz et al., 1983). Something never considered by Hilton et al.



q
MORE FUN FAQ: Research finds trans women have bone density lower than natal males, natal females, and FtMs, as a group, BEFORE hormone therapy even begins (sample=711, FAR larger than any of the studies Hilton uses)

Hogshead-Makar , Hilton and Davies says that women like Semenya need to be kept out of competition to “give women’s bodies an equal opportunity to participate,” which isn’t true.

deadspin.com/one-of-the-top…
Hogshead-Makar has been arguing that South African runner Caster Semenya is not a woman. It began on, when Hogshead-Makar responded to a tweet about Semenya by saying “We must protect women’s sport for women’s bodies.”
White Privilege

At 51 seconds #SharronDavies claims #CasterSemenya was misdiagnosed as a child because she is from a 3rd world country. This is #Interphobia with a capital ’i’ from Davies.

The human rights framework controls this “debate.” The practice of sport is a human right (IOC Charter), sex is a matter of legal recognition (CAS), & trans women can be legally recognized as female. Therefore, trans women have a HR to participate in competitive sport as women.
Trans women don’t have to justify our inclusion. The burden of argument is entirely on those who seek to exclude us. And, as I’ll briefly prove, that burden has not yet been met, and is unlikely ever to be met. 
There currently exists NO evidence to suggest that trans women who elect to suppress testosterone (through, for example, gender affirming hormone therapy and/or surgical gonad removal) maintain disproportionate advantages over cis women indefinitely.

Elite women athletes are considerably stronger than the average cis man, and certainly the average trans woman.
The average height of the 2016 Rio Olympics women’s high jump podium was 6’1.7”. The 10th place woman in the final is 5’5”; the gold medallist is 6’3.6” and was the tallest in the competition.
The global average height for men is around 5’9”. Moreover, height is not uniformly distributed around the world. The average Dutch woman is 5’6.5”, whereas the average Indonesian woman is 4’10”.
