Hey, what do you think of transwomen who used puberty blockers and transitioned before they experienced a male puberty? Nicole Maines from Supergirl: I saw her on Ellen recently and she seems exactly like a cis woman. Same goes with Jazz Jennings and transwomen who had this similar thing. I dont think i could differentiate them with those who transitioned at a later age- you can tell they are males right away. I want to hear your opinions.
Hi anon,
The thing is, no amount of dangerous puberty blocking medication, hormone injections, or surgical intervention makes a male a female. Jazz Jennings is a great example, his sister is treated like a brood mare for him, receives absolutely no positive attention from her family, has to go along with the charade that Jazz is somehow ‘just like her’ as a girl. But that’s clearly such bullshit. It’s also bullshit for Nicole Maines. And it’s bullshit for Laverne Cox. There is no female on the planet who is treated with such kid gloves, given as many opportunities, invited to speak for women so often as these males are. While I might not be able to immediately tell that Jazz is male just by walking passed him on the street, any prolonged interaction would reveal it. In a couple years when more of these children grow up and start looking for sexual partners, their partners will be able to tell. Men and women’s skin feels different. The literal way our skin works is different, too. Other things, like fat distribution, hips, legs are all different. The intimate partners of trans individuals, even ones who will later suffer from joint pain and brittle bones from the Lupron, will be able to tell that there is a difference. You can’t biohack being the sex you are not. A woman is not a collection of stereotypes, makeup, clothing, lady brain, internal ‘feelings’ of being female, or secondary sex characteristics like breasts. A woman is just an adult female human. A girl is a young female human. That’s it!
