Hormones do not change biological sex

Estrogen is naturally in both males and females, it’s a human hormone, so is testosterone.
it doesn’t magically change sex, just gene expression and body fat distribution, that’s what it does. this is harmful misinformation

They’re just proving the point that they need to educate themselves instead of acting psychotic,
and it’s why people think this specific type of people have mental illness from these impressions (yelling and throwing a fit at anything) that is what scares people

there are many (Not all, of course) trans women saying they have periods and they are biological women,
No amount of hormones and surgeries can do that or change chromosomal sex.
Surgeries can’t transplant functioning gonads for either sex, nothing can change dna or genetics.

This is taking it too far.
That’s not transphobia, no one is saying they hate trans people, it is the biological reality,
These same people claim gender identity and sex are different, and get all political, yet they get offended when someone mentions and acknowledges that belief accurately,

I thought that wasn’t the point of transgender.
You can be a woman with a penis and identify as such,
Example, trans women are biologically male and gender is female, they live and identify as female.

Well, that’s what they say. now what are they saying?

They are saying sex is a social construct when they said the same about gender?
they claimed it was different now it’s the same?

it’s not.
they lash out and start throwing a major tantrum when someone explains basic biology that can be learned in a high school class or the truth, as a grown adult? as an adult, i’ve learned to face the truth even if it’s not what i want to hear.

its not a forbidden “term”
They are playing the victim and being hypocritical, even a bit sexist.

HOW are 1k people agreeing to this? what is going on in people’s minds? I am so confused. They like to upvote lies they want to hear and attack you for speaking the truth

instead of focusing on being male or female i think they should focus on being a human with a functioning brain first.

insecure about my chest

When I was going through puberty, I started my period at age 12, and my breasts never developed to be big when i grew older.
I had an eating disorder starting at 14 until 18, my bmi was very low, i had hair loss and my period stopped for a year when i was 16 because of low progesterone and body going into survival mode.
My breast size is 32B, they have no volume and i've had partners comment on how they're small and don't fill up my shirt. I went to a plastic surgeon and he said one is way smaller than the other and they aren't lifted.

I know it's possible to get even smaller, like an A cup, and it's normal to be flat chested, it looks good on other people

but this size and shape isn't attractive on me, even my mother has commented
Could it be that i didn't develop properly during puberty because of my eating disorder? or low estrogen during those developmental times?

Insecure about my chest

When I was going through puberty, I started my period at age 12, and my breasts never developed to be big when i grew older.

I had an eating disorder starting at 14 until 18, my bmi was very low, i had hair loss and my period stopped for a year when i was 16 because of low progesterone and body going into survival mode.

My natural breast size is 32B, they have no volume and i’ve had partners comment on how they’re small and don’t fill up my shirt. I went to a plastic surgeon and he said one is even smaller than the other and they aren’t lifted. they just felt like loose skin.

I know it’s possible to get even smaller, like an A cup, and it’s normal to be flat chested

but this size and shape isn’t attractive on me, even my mother has commented, i don’t think it’s genetic, and it didn’t look good in clothes

Could it be that i didn’t develop properly during puberty because of my eating disorder? or low estrogen during those developmental times?

I ended up getting implants, they only last 10 years for everyone, I was wondering why mine aren’t naturally that way

Is it true the Y chromosome is shrinking?

I’ve heard it’s losing genes and getting smaller over the years

Are more people FTM from internalized misogyny?

I know that it’s becoming increasingly common while it was almost unheard of before or not talked about, but is it because of increasing misogyny or believing men have it easier in society?

although i believe that’s not true, because men face societal expectations of getting a high salary and being attractive too, or they are looked at as an outcast and can’t attract people. they also compare themselves and their lives to others, like women do.
i feel it’s a misconception that men have it better.
i have known straight men that said they compare their faces to everyone including women, and find flaws in their own looks.

i’ve just seen many misogynistic posts online and andrew tate stuff like “women expire after 25” and parasocial dehumanizing stuff posted by losers on twitter, putting down women for aging, their appearance, or believing to be superior, usually by old men.

harmful and untrue messages, because those people that post things like that hate themselves and want others to feel the same way.
they want to feel powerful by putting down women

this was rare 10 years ago, its only increasing with social media like tiktok, X and instagram

Do all mammals start out as female?

Wondering if humans in particular are female by default unless the Y chromosome activates,
even though that’s decided since conception.
If the Y chromosome isn’t there, they’d continue to develop as female.
all fetuses look the same with gonads that resemble mostly female, until 7 weeks

Males have a similar area in the prostate to the uterus, called the Prostatic utricle. representing a remnant of the female reproductive tract (Müllerian ducts) in males.

testes are equivalent and of same material as ovaries, just external. The clitoris is the same tissue as the penis, just overgrown by testosterone, the labia is equivalent to the scrotum, and males have nipples, also can produce milk if taking hormones

do i have this correct?

AITB Retroactive jealousy when he keeps mentioning his ex

We're F20 M20, dating for 3 years.
From the first day we met, he talked about his ex to me because her city came up on the TV, within 10 minutes of seeing me. He would be like
"Oh i went to visit her, my ex lived there. she was cool, wanna hear something stupid she said?" then talked about how she probably cheated, and her randomly breaking up with him, how he'd check her instagram for a month and then blocked her in the end.
We'd be in his car, and he kept telling me how she approached him online, love bombed him and led him on, broke up with him, and he texted her off dxm a month after their breakup asking why she did those things and if she hates him. i didn’t ask him the story.

He'd tell me he "thought" he loved her.
He'd get flashbacks of her and project his lack of trust that she caused onto me, and he admitted that.
When he brings her up, I overthink and start asking him questions about her, and he accuses me of interrogating him and making assumptions. He said
"she was never in my head you made yourself crazy because you probably have BPD"
and he told his dad, friends, and everyone that i am abusing him for asking about this

i’ve told him to stop but it always slips up.
He says she’s not on his mind and he only talks about her to “make me understand”

He says I bring up the past and obsess over it when he created the issue

in the last text, he got a flashback because i was smiling at my phone when i saw a meme, and he said his ex did that and it hurt to see her smiling knowing it wasn’t for him (overthinking about her cheating)

He weaponizes her in arguments saying “Idgaf about love im tired of being betrayed
you’re just like all the people you say you aren’t”
when it has nothing to do with her, like a bitter ex.

We’ve been together 3 years, it still comes up, even on my birthday he said “i’ve known skinny women that weren’t like that in person,catfishing me ” and i asked who and he talked about his ex.
He calls me insecure saying he can’t handle me, while he made me that way

We’ve gotten close to breaking up because of this, and we already have once

they dated online long distance for 4 months and were together in person for a week

AITB posting selfie with slight cleavage on social media

My bf said it’s against his boundaries if I take a picture where my boobs look big in a sweater or if very slight cleavage is showing, he doesn’t like me having social media in general. He has female friends with OF and says he doesn’t care because he’s not interested in them.

He has told his friends, dad, everyone, that i am basically a rude bad person, toxic and crazy.

When I express my feelings or how his words/behavior hurts me, he says “You’re guilt tripping me!! that’s manipulative. Funny coming from you!” and turns the blame on me.

He calls me immature, childish, and I go along with it, agreeing to get his validation and try to make him less upset.

and I say it’s not even meant to be sexualized and it’s inevitable sometimes and he says “I don’t go around showing my dick”
He said it’s the same as cheating, even though we’ve been together for years and i’ve stayed loyal even during breakups, it was on and off

He would leave me and i’d beg for him back, he’d say “You’re the one that came to me crying and begging. I was happy living my own life.”

He randomly left me on my birthday, I asked if he was ok because he wouldn’t respond for hours and he replied with “i’ve been sick all week i’m done with this shenanigans” yet he was hanging out with his bestfriend laughing and having fun.

he said leave me alone and he’s done with me.

This time i didn’t contact him or beg, I ignored him and he unblocked me after 4 months. Made his private profile into public and added his name

Unblocked after 4 months, he left on my bday, why?

He would call me over to sleep with him for a year after our breakup, we were on and off 4 years together. Like, he’d text me saying he’s free and then call an uber in the morning. I thought he would commit to me and didn’t realize his intentions.
I stayed loyal to him throughout it all, he did not like it when I was active on social media and said that’s going against his boundaries.

When I told him how he’s hurting me with his behavior and actions, he’d say “you’re guilt tripping and manipulative” and wouldn’t take blame, only made me take it. He diagnosed me with BPD saying “It’s not normal to get butterflies after 4 years. Normal people don’t feel that way.”

He'd cuss me out when he had a bad day at home.

He talked about his ex gf a lot since day 1, if i asked him about it or why, he’d tell everyone, his dads, friends etc that i am interrogating him and i’m abusive
He said “She was never in my head. you made yourself crazy because you have BPD”

He randomly left me on my birthday when i asked if he was ok because he was ignoring me for hours, he said "leave me alone i'm done with you and ur shit. i'm not repeating myself we've been through this. not talking about rn but everything we've gone through." and blocked me.

In the past, I'd beg to be with him and he'd say "you're the one that came to me crying and begging i was happy living my own life"
he'd leave whenever he felt like it, but said i'm a terrible person if i do.

after 4 months, he'd lurk on my profile and unblocked me, left it that way, and probably checked if i'm seeing someone else or not. He made his account public from private and added his name.
I did not text or contact him again, and it was the first time I just left him alone.

I don’t know what’s going on though

Unblocked after months

I'd beg to be with him and he'd say "you're the one that came to me crying and begging i was happy living my own life"
we were on and off 4 years.

he'd leave whenever he felt like it, but said i'm a terrible person if i do. i used to beg and plead because i was attached, i’ve never been no contact for longer than a week because id try to talk.
For a while, he’d invite me over at night to sleep with me and call an uber in the morning, without committing.

He randomly left me on my birthday when i asked if he was ok because he was ignoring me for hours, he said "leave me alone i'm done with you and ur shit. i'm not repeating myself we've been through this. not talking about rn but everything we've gone through." and blocked me.

after 4 months, I noticed he'd lurk on my profile and unblocked me, left it that way, and probably checked if i'm seeing someone else or not. He made his account from private to public and added his name.
What could this mean? I know he’s wondering why i’m not crying for him anymore

I did not text or contact him again, and it was the first time I just left him alone.

I woke up to balls on my face

I was living in japan for a few years and I had a friend that came into my home and we played video games, he said the train station is closed and will reopen at 5 am so I allowed him to sleep separately on the floor on a futon,

He brought up sex and started being creepy, I told him no, I was not comfortable doing that with him. I did not like him in that way.
He told me to give him a blowjob, I said hell no.

He kept bugging and pressuring me while i said no. He was like “it’ll be good exercise for your face and jawline”
I would not.
I fell asleep, around 3 am, I woke up to him dangling his balls on my face.
I screamed and pushed him off.

It seemed like he was trying to put his dick in my mouth when I was asleep. I still remember those elephant skin balls.
He started sitting in a dark corner crouched down and crying, acting possessed.

He was 32M, I was 18F
This is a true story and I still remember it vividly after 8 years. It could even fit into a horror sub

edit: I knew him for barely two months, he was crying because he didn’t get what he wanted,
i hate balls now

Should I believe everything?

I get some answers that come across as hateful, harassing me, or making me overthink about my situation in other subs.

Once I posted about my ex and an abusive relationship, I had women attacking me saying I post a lot and bringing up topics I asked on different subs about an entirely different subject that was spirituality related.
They ganged up on me for absolutely no reason, seemed like it was out of insecurity and jealousy.

Or if I posted a situation, they twisted the story and made me overthink. Maybe it was on purpose, saying “you’re naive you’re like 12”

Is everything on here true? Or could it be twitter based responses?
