I’m having difficulty understanding that question.
- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 2 weeks ago:
Transmedicalism is the idea that the only trans identities that are valid are those that link directly to a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria and that those identities should also only be respected if the trans person in question is actively undergoing some form of gender affirming care.
Due to its exclusionary nature and pathologising of trans people as a disease to be treated, its largely viewed as a problematic and outdated idea of gender identity amongst the larger trans community (although it does have its defenders) but it remains entrenched within discourse around gender identity in the UK because so much of the legal/social component of transition has been gatekept behind medical transition. For example, the changing of gender markers on legal documents.
- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 2 weeks ago:
I worry that too much of a focus on what is or isn’t necessary for someone to be a trans person, verges a little on the edge of transmedicalism. There’s a broad array of trans experiences and one isn’t any more valid than another.
If you are genuinely interested in reading more into transgender identities, I could link you towards some basic materials.
- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 2 weeks ago:
You are correct that gender dysphoria is not necessarily something a trans person has. Prior to the current political sabotage of the gender service, the role of the NHS was to determine what gender affirming care was necessary. A lot of the anti-trans push has been to take as many of these treatments off the board as possible.
Last month the Welsh Gender Service was pressured into cancelling all gender affirming surgeries that had been booked, no consultation, just a blanket call from above that involved no medical experts in the consideration. They did this on the demands of a single Member of Senedd.

All the pro-trans side ever want in this debate is better medical outcomes for trans people. If that’s bringing politics to medicine then idk what the fuck apolitical medicine is.
- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 2 weeks ago:
The problem is that the decision to prevent the use of puberty blockers isn’t based on the decisions of medical experts but rather political groups more determined to erase trans people.
The Cass review, for example has been heavily criticised for its methodological flaws.
As someone who is both trans and with experience working in a related field of medicine it has been heartbreaking to see the NHS warped so cruelly by bigots and their agenda.
- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 2 weeks ago:
It’s the age we’ve decided that someone can make life changing decisions at.
Ok, firstly discarding Gillick competence (which is legally a warzone around gender transition right now) the age that a decision is allowed to make a decision on their own healthcare in the UK is 16 not 18, unless you see trans people as inherently less capable than cos, I don’t see why you’d push the age back further specifically for gender affirming care.
But more importantly, going through the wrong puberty isn’t life changing?
- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 2 weeks ago:
Should be 18, pending a doctor’s approval
Why?

- Comment on Arxiv bans slop 4 months ago:
So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it’s beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn’t know or concerns technical material he doesn’t understand but another author on the paper does?"
Why would you cite a work you hadn’t read and/or don’t understand?
- Comment on We're so back 5 months ago:
As it spreads through the population, the more likely it is to develop into a strain that the current vaccines are ineffective against. It wouldn’t just be the horse paste fuckers that this would effect.
Also it’d make it harder to reach herd immunity in the population and therefore place immunocompromised people in further risk.
You can’t individualism your way out of a pandemic, everyone who undermines attempts at stopping the spread puts everyone’s lives at risk.

BTW I went and read through the studies someone sent me in that thread and turns out the graphs from those studies show that trans women are more similar to cis men than to cis women in all metrics.
Which of the studies said that?
Because I’ve been reading through them myself and all I’m getting is stuff like:
This which says:
Results In this cohort of athletes, TW had similar testosterone concentration (TW 0.7±0.5 nmol/L, CW 0.9±0.4 nmol/), higher oestrogen (TW 742.4±801.9 pmol/L, CW 336.0±266.3 pmol/L, p=0.045), higher absolute handgrip strength (TW 40.7±6.8 kg, CW 34.2±3.7 kg, p=0.01), lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s:forced vital capacity ratio (TW 0.83±0.07, CW 0.88±0.04, p=0.04), lower relative jump height (TW 0.7±0.2 cm/kg; CW 1.0±0.2 cm/kg, p<0.001) and lower relative V̇O2max (TW 45.1±13.3 mL/kg/min/, CW 54.1±6.0 mL/kg/min, p<0.001) compared with CW athletes. TM had similar testosterone concentration (TM 20.5±5.8 nmol/L, CM 24.8±12.3 nmol/L), lower absolute hand grip strength (TM 38.8±7.5 kg, CM 45.7±6.9 kg, p=0.03) and lower absolute V̇O2max (TM 3635±644 mL/min, CM 4467±641 mL/min p=0.002) than CM.
And this Which says:
Key Findings Key Biomedical Findings Biological data are severely limited, and often methodologically flawed. There is limited evidence regarding the impact of testosterone suppression (through, for example, gender-affirming hormone therapy or surgical gonad removal) on transgender women athletes’ performance. Available evidence indicates trans women who have undergone testosterone suppression have no clear biological advantages over cis women in elite sport.
Both of which were cited in the articles OP linked.

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:
Acetyl-CoA + 3H~2~O + 3NAD^+^ + FAD + ADP + Pi → 2CO~2~ + 3NADH + 3H^+^ + FADH~2~ + CoA-SH + ATP + H~2~O + AI
This combines the Krebs Cycle which relates to glucose metabolism with the addition of artificial intelligence (AI). By including AI in the equation, it symbolises my ability to wank myself to completion without touching my cock, simply by massaging my engorged ego.
