(Anonymous) 2024-08-09 02:50 am (UTC)(link)lmao trans women are women but they are not CIS women and they are the first ones to be aware of that. you all have to stop trying this stupid GOTCHA bullshit
jesus christ i think you're not serious, but it's like reading a reddit comment section. your "debate" skills are lacking even for reddit standard, buddy.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-09 03:15 am (UTC)(link)There's a reason why they often spend thousands of dollars TRANSitioning : going on hormone therapy to increase their estrogen levels and decrease testosterone to gain Female secondary sex characteristics and make their hormone levels closer to a cis woman's than a cis man's. Sometimes even having bottom surgery to turn their penis into a vagina.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-09 03:26 am (UTC)(link)dude if you're serious i'm surprised because that really seemed like a GOTCHA moment from you
(human pheromones are still on debate and possibly a myth, but for conversation's sake:) trans-women who are actively going through HRT may be emitting pheromones similar and/or equal to sexually fertile (ugh) cis women, but studies suggest that pheromones come not only from hormones but mainly from genitals and especially from vaginal fluids. (I thought this was common knowledge in a pseudo-science way but maybe not?)
Now, trans women can have a vagina, but it will never be the same as a cis woman's vagina. And not all trans women go through HRT, come due to lack of access to it, some because they don't want/need to medically transition.
Hence why your "if transwomen are women then they're going to produce the pheromones of women" seems like an insidious GOTCHA moment. It implies that "if trans women are real women then they should emit the same pheromones as cis-women because they are biologically women" which... no.
...i kind of feel dirty writing all this. ...pheromones BLEARGH

(Anonymous) 2024-08-09 03:51 am (UTC)(link)i guess all this depends on where you think pheromones originate from (brain? hormones? vagina?), but pheromones in human are pseudo-science at best, so this is all pretty useless thought exercise in the end.
still, i hope you got why i thought you were trying to "get me". please beware of trans-medical rhetoric in your "trans women are women".
still not sure you're entirely benign, but i don't like to think bad of people on principle. life is too short for that bs byeeeeh (^_^)/

(Anonymous) 2024-08-09 03:54 am (UTC)(link)uh, no, they're not. you're conflating sex with gender, which are two separate things. a trans woman is female, but not biologically. that's why she's a TRANS woman, not a cis woman.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-09 04:03 am (UTC)(link)thinking about hypothetical pheromones in trans people is not how I envisioned my morning to go lol
