In the US, those “hoops” were eliminated a generation ago when the careful, cautious Harry Benjamin protocol was scrapped for the “affirmative care model.” I repeat, what country do you live in?
cidonnelly1 (@cidonnelly.bsky.social) reply parent
A hit-and-run is a “hate crime”? You listed eight deceased people who happened to be trans. Not an impressive list, even so. Here in the States, the murder rate in the trans community is only 1/6 of the general population. Judging by the numbers, being trans is the safest thing to be here.
cidonnelly1 (@cidonnelly.bsky.social) reply parent
What country do you live in? Because here in the US, anyone can call themselves “trans” without any body modifications whatsoever. This large and ever-growing portion of the “trans community” claims a gender dysphoria diagnosis is unnecessary and calls transsexuals “transphobic.”

cidonnelly1 (@cidonnelly.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, it makes a powerful man a weaker man. But suppressed testosterone in males is doping level in a female and would disqualify any female. Either way, it’s irrelevant to Imane Khelif, who is not trans.
