How transphobic is where you live?

In my city this man ran for office on a campaign of physically attacking trans people. He came 2nd to a woman who campaigned on putting all mtf's in male prison, regardless of surgery status.

Not that much thankfully.
Most transphobia is based on cissoids being the literal uninformed creatures that they are rather than active "seek and destroy" type of shit

Real
Ignorance is the key ingredient for transphobia
Active transphobia simply happens when ignorant people think they understand sex and gender
Passive is "idk what a trans is" and the hilarity that stems from it
>>
i live in rural New York and the people here seem sort of okay? i'm pretty sure like at least half of my current coworkers are transphobes lol but (most of them) have the good taste to not express it too much publicly beyond some oblique things which are really more like microagressions than anything else. it is also not uncommon to see MAGA branding and flags on peoples clothes and cars and whatnot.
that being said, i have not heard anything ever about my area trying to pass transphobic laws or anything like that. so it's probably just a bunch of grumps who think we're too hippy-dippy about self-expression.

It doesn't sound like a healthy environment but at least they're keeping it to themselves, and not harming you physically.

The worst thing that happned was everyone saying its changing gender, not sex!

But hrt literally alters the chemical composition and the androgen receptors respond to the dominant hormone. Plus surgery can literally change primary and secondary sexual characteristics.

This is too overwhelming for the average hylic

Yeha average retard struggles to understand that trans people change p much 4/6 aspects science uses to define sex because sex not alligning with out gender is what causes the distress
Like there isn't even a change of gender happening, it's literally just you aligning your sex with your gender
Breaks the mind of normies

Only been to birmingham a few times for events n stuff thankfully
But it always amazes me when I go to the UK that it literally looks and "feels" like a 3rd world shithole
Most backwater cities and towns in eastern europe I've been to had a more welcoming and less "shit" feel to them
And yet the public just takes it as long as a minority is dangled in front of them to blame

It is the 4th world, worse than the 3rd world. England is the only nation on earth where the government is actively deindustrialising.

Im very glad you said this, i sense the evil energy here too, theres an undercurrent of horror to everything. The people look evil, with mean faces, the infrastructure is crumbling, the garbage is depressing.

I dislike the word "despair", it implies lost humanity, it implies longing, that there is a belief something better has been taken. The average brit does not feel these things, they embrace the terror, they become the terror, they viciously enforce the terror and anyone who dares speak up is met with derision. Maybe we should improve society somewha- shut up, stop being a wet wipe, its a shithole but its home and other associated dismissives.

I thought i hated people, but i do not. After travelling, i realised i only hate the British.
>>
>>41901858
>I thought i hated people, but i do not. After travelling, i realised i only hate the British.
Real, I suspect it's a mixture of lasting damage done by ww2 "oi ya gotta keep calm and carry on with ya stiff upper lip guvner" type propaganda and just a general docile state due to the power never having been in the hand of the average person but the aristocrats and rich people.
Like the impotance of the average worker meets a deeper feeling of "if we keep calm and carry on" we'll endure.
Keypoint being "endure", I don't thinkt he average brit be it conciously or subconsciously doesn't dare to do more than endure.
Hence why transphobia is so rampant, transition is going beyond enduring, it's endurance with the goal of suprassing it towards happiness.
The average worker hates this because to them "just endure" is a promise, not one of a better world, but one for a unchanging world which is suffering but a suffering they are used to.
(See the static nature of every society portrayed in uk media from HP to LotR)
While the ruling class is actively afraid of trans people because they don't just endure, they actively work past a stat of endurance. And if they can do it, it might give the average worker "ideas".
The only people allowed to go past a state of "enduring" in the UK are people who are seen as "special" be it by divine or monetary right (aristocracy and inherited wealth), utmost intelligence or creativity (ohh JK is so brilliant and her story is so creative, normies could've never) or in the case of literature and stories special in the literal sense (the boy who lived, the uncorruptable hobbit, the spirits casting punishment, or an alien showing you how to live life)

The UK is the japan of the west without the econonic or cultural strength to overshadow the decline and inner contradictions
>>
I live in Sweden.
Transphobia doesn't exist publicly here. Most ppl agree with "trans women are women", even rwers. They just think we're kinda weird at most lol but it's a very polite society usually. Some moid chuds obviously but they're a very small minority.
>>
>>41901699
it is not all bad; there are a few coworkers i have who i am certain would be totally cool if i came out to them, and although i have not seen any of them in like five years i am certain that my high school class could not care any less. so the youth are okay, at least.
wealthy areas here sort of just exist in bubbles. some of the people who live here are incredibly wealthy and others are struggling. it sort of depends on which part of town you're in; where i work is very poor, but customers come in and drop thousands of dollars on our stuff routinely.

>phenotypical sex
>gonadal sex
>chromosomal sex
>hormonal sex
>somatic/cellular sex
>cerebral sex (basically the most likely origin of gender identity)
All of these factor into where along the spectrum between male and female someone falls
>>
>>41901935
>>41901920
Note tho, these aren't all, just the most commonly used in biology and medicine, you could split them further for example into phenotypical/secondary/primary sex characteristics and so on
Hence why the notion of a true binary (as in 0 and 1) is retarded when it comes to biology, and especially when it comes to complex social creatures like humans

>>41901947
ty for this friend
i am assuming gonadal and chromosomal sex are the two to which you were referring that we don't change (though idk what i'm talking about) but does that mean you think we are actively changing cerebral sex? i guess this makes sense since my understanding is that hormones change the way your brain works but i thought that gender identity was pretty static on the psychic level and it is sort of just personal understanding that can change
>>
>>41901947
Its not a binary but your study assumes two sexes for there to be an opposite. Retard
>>
>>41901956
It assumes 2 sexes in relation to the brain
Hence why the gonadal or chromosomal sex wasn't tested
Retard
>>41901954
I think a typical trans woman has the following attributes pre transition
>phenotypical sex
Male
>gonadal sex
Male
>chromosomal sex
Male
>hormonal sex
Male
>somatic sex
Male
>cerebral sex
Female

This causes the gender identiy to be woman and results in distress
Post transition depending on surgery (assuming yes for this example) a typical trans woman would have the following attributes
>phenotypical sex
Female
>gonadal sex
None
>chromsomal sex
Male
>hormonal sex
Female
>somatic sex
Female
>cerebral sex
Female

Hence why the dysphoria, depending on the source can be entire gone or largely reduced
>>
>>41901970
thank you for the clarification :) not sure what i'll do with this information now but it's interesting to think about
>>
>>41901970
>>chromsomal sex
>Male
>didnt change chromosomal sex
ngmi + speak for urself.
>>
>>41901982
Yw, I mean it is based on some studies regarding how the brain automatically genders things and itself, which are p interesting. But neuroscience still is far from "here is where the tranny lives" sadly but the implications of p much every research into is seems to be that gender identiy is your brain gendering itself one way while the body develops in another, this misalignment causes distress and would further explain why you cant "trans brainwash" someone
>>41901986
>tfw not a typical tranny so my chromosomal sex wasn't male to begin with

>>41901970
>biological sex isn’t real or it’s a spectrum
>except the brain it has two sexes
You are so retarded it’s not even funny. A brain doesnt have a sex, organisms that reproduce sexually do. If the organism has 73 sexes then there are brains in 73 sexes.

If you are saying the brain differs between males and females therefore it has a sex, then likewise skin has a sex which makes eczema a DSD and psoriasis a gender.

i transitioned to cis woman and i have no clue what my chromosomes were before and still no clue SOOO i am cis
even though i probs wont get SRS for a few more years im already cis cuz i decided
im just better
>>
Sex is a method of reproduction, it is not a blood lab value. X conc of blood estrogen isnt a ”hormonal sex” anymore than Y conc of aldosterone is ”hormonal sex”.
>>
>>41902008
Are you genuinely retarded or deliberately ignoring what I'm saying to be a zesty faggot?
The brain also has multiple sexes, hence why we see dysphoria about different things relating to sexes (kinda why non ops are a thing)
>a brain doesn't have sex
Uhm sweaty, are you retarded?
>muh 73 sexes
The only sex relevant to reproduction is the gonadal one, which typically is a p solid binary

You don’t know or are deliberately lying about what sex is. Sex is a method of reproduction of organisms. An individual organ doesnt have a sex, as cells don’t reproduce sexually. You don’t even know elementary school biology let alone university level. And yes I’ve studied uni biology.

>Ok then explain what makes a sex hormone a sex hormone?
Because the three groups, androgens, estrogens and progesterones affect the phenotypic sex and mediate the gonadal/reproductive sex to a degree
>Why is aldosterone not a sex hormone?
It's synthesized in the zona glomerulosa while most other sex hormones are synthesized in the zona reticularis and the reproductive organs

Are you retarded or something?
Are you gonna argue that the raas is peak masculinity next or something?
>>
>>41902108
Aldosterone affects the renal sex. Why is there no renal sex? Or is there? If you know that sex is reproduction then kidneys don’t have a sex so aldosterone is not a sex hormone. Under your definition aldosterone is a hormonal sex.
>>
>>41902135
Ah ok you don't understand what sex is in biology, you are retarded, reread my posts, maybe you understand it in the end, good luck buddy
Hope you at some point understand why affecting the renal secretion of Na is different from affecting the development of sexual characteristics
>>
>>41902148
What makes a characteristic sexual? You are wrong because you are looking at it backwards. You think sex hormone came before sex. No, you must first define sex in order to know what a sex hormone is. Otherwise you can’t explain why aldosterone isnt a sex hormone, as you have failed to so.
>>
>>41902220
I have defined why aldosterone isn't a sex hormone
Because it isn't produced in the zona reticularis but the zona glomerulosa you absolute retard
I don't have to define sex yet again for this definition to work, you inept buffoon

Are you denying that aldosterone is synthesized in the zona glomerulosa while every other hormone we categorize as adrenal sex hormone is synthesized in the zona reticularis ?

I mean. You shouldn't shout on the street that Putin is an evil dictator. Talking to regular people about it is fine. A lot of people don't like Putin at least in big cities.

There is a lot of irritation toward Europe because of strange politics about Russians.

i mean he literally is. they are rounding up lgbt, communists, leftists, anti-war protesters, etc. and throwing them in jail. he kills his opponents. he political advisor os alexandr dugin, is literal blood and soil nazi who called for exterminating the ukrainian peoples. he riggs elections winning by “80% of the vote” with fake controlled opposition. no shit you can’t call him an evil dictator, cause there is no free speech period

>>41905001
He is no one without the military/police support. A lot of people would like to be in hist place with good and bad intentions. So he wants to have an image that he has strong support from normal citizens, higher ups and military. A lot of people even in Russia think that majority supports him. But is though? There is no way to tell.
>>
>>41905051
problem for Putin is the time of “strong state control” of the economy is over. he’s a cuck for capitalists so privatizing the retirement age and all social services is on the agenda as the state pisses away its last resources on the war machine in Ukraine. and he keeps alienating all aspects of society (not just left or moderates, even far right hates him now). I think his cult of personality is once he either dies or couped out of power. probably people storming his billionaire mansion like in ukraine 2013.
