@canthelpmenow7 1/n So much goalpost moving, they're in a different stadium now. First it was about professional vs non-professional, now it's "male bodied people" and "hormone infused men." Pick a lane. @canthelpmenow7 2/n Let's address your "hormone infused men" comment. Trans women on HRT experience significant physiological changes including decreased muscle mass, bone density, and hemoglobin levels that align with cis women's ranges.

@crwarmuth44 @question_how_so @mushycrouton 1/ There is no one simple definition of what is 'male' or what is 'female.' We take this for granted as, for the vast majority of people, we only ever have to scrutinize this at a superficial level. The more we interrogate this concept, the more murky and messy it becomes. @crwarmuth44 @question_how_so @mushycrouton 2/"male" typically refers to an individual with a combination of characteristics that may include (but are not limited to):

1.XY Chromosomes
2.Testes as Gonads
3.Higher levels of androgens, mainly testosterone
4.Development of typical primary &/or secondary sex characteristics→
