Comment on Why do we need legal genders at all?

Male hearts are larger and have different proportions than female hearts, and the camber proportions also differ. There are also differences in the muscle texture itself. I know a LOT can change during transition, but I didn’t think your heart would get restructured due to current gender reaffirming care. There’s another reply to my comment where somebody much more educated than me offered some info! I did not intend to make a “strong claim” about this, I said im PRETTY SURE not that I know because I simply do not lol.

All of this may be true and still does not mean that HRT doesn’t affect heart attack symptoms. For most things with average differences based on sex, we simply don’t know when, how and how much gender-affirming hormone therapy changes things, because it hasn’t been sufficiently studied. That’s all I’m saying.

  Facts, all these things are as clear as mud. At the end of the day, everybody is a walking sack of chemical reactions and things boil down to ur chemistry more than anything. Every single one is different!
