    I think the F to M's just transition, then live their lives. Where as the M's to F's make a fuss about it. Which is actually a huge argument in favour of the "trans women are real women" claim, I guess.

    In general. I haven't seen the stats but anecdotally, yeah.

    It might be that males are just more disposed to it, I don't know, but I've never seen the point either raised or answered in the mainstream discourse around it.

    The answer, it would appear, is that it isn't:

    and we have seen a steady increase in the number of FTM such that the incidence now equals that of MTF

    Maybe bloke in a dress is just more of a stand out thing than a woman in 'man's clothing', which is fairly normal.

    Anecdotally based on work, I've seen way more female to male trans kids than male to female. Probably 10 to 1 ratio.

    Thanks, I think this is probably what I'm looking for:

    If so, it raises the question of why greater number of FTM did not seek therapy previously. One possibility is that a relatively lower degree of social stigmatization of females adopting cross-gender behaviors (compared with males) allowed some alleviation of gender dysphoria in transgender males.
    So presumably now, as then, male-to-females stand out more socially and that's definitely reflected in media coverage. Doesn't resolve the sport issues but makes sense in every other respect.

    Fwiw, that (more FTM now compared to before, which was the other way around) is why some people suggest that transgenderism is more due to social contagion nowadays, as opposed to being a Real Thing. Impressionable, insecure teenage girls being lured by internet weirdos and such.

    Even the New York Times is starting to entertain the idea that transitioning as a child might not be the best thing ever: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/o...dysphoria.html

    In my job I'd say the male to females tip the scales a lot more. Maybe the lasses just aren't claiming PIP over it as much. Again, playing into some potential stigmas?

    The men doing it are mentally ill and/or [autistic] fetishists, which is also why they tend to be a lot more aggressive about it all, and the women doing it are mentally ill but doing this instead of being anorexic or cutting their arms or whatever else mentally ill teenage girls did when we were at school. The latter follows the former for reasons Pepe mentions.

    Interesting when you compare that to some of the shit which is apparently absolutely fine in the eyes of the IOPC on that C4 To Catch a Copper programme. On that it seems every female officer in the Avon & Somerset region is gagging to 'pava' anyone at the drop of a hat.

    Speaking of owning everything, it looks like the pif are about to buy tennis as well. Is there some gay-only sport I can watch that will be safe from their grasp? Gladiators, I guess.

    They already pay lots of money to get WWE over so they ain't gonna be scared off by Gladiators. The women will have to wear boiler suits though.

    Diving. They won't touch that. Or any winter sport.

    I support this endeavour.

    I guess the problem with the Enhanced Games is nobody at their physical peak would risk their career to participate.

    Isn't it the most likely explanation, rather than a man with half his face missing somehow not being spotted by anyone or any further CCTV camera for 2 weeks?

    And as niko says, bodies of water have a winning record in the last few UK missing person mysteries.

    I would say the most likely explanation is that he's hiding with a friend / relative.

    I can see why athletic bodies are concerned as who is going to care about their 'non-enhanced' games when someone's running the 100m half a second quicker, even if they are riddled with steroids.

    That's the thing. He's been retired for four years. Doesn't matter how much gear you put in, that's a lot of lost time. Swimmers peak young.

    What sort of lunatic wears shoes in their house?

    And maybe hold fire on praising the west:

    Medine Cohen says that The Row, a luxury and trendsetting fashion brand, has “basically been trying to crack the code on how to wear shoes without looking like you’re wearing shoes for the last six seasons”. Indeed, their sold-out slip-on mesh shoe, which looks more like a structured sock than typical outdoor footwear, sells for Ł600.

    Sliders, but I have wooden floors that are freezing. If it was carpets would be socks.

    Shoes off at the door. one of my pals has an “indoor” pair of trainers… trainers aren’t that comfortable.
