Very unserious people.

Why shouldn’t there be an extra category of trans women or trans men next to men and women?

Because trans women are women, and trans men are men. Why shouldn't there be a category for women with pcos?

Suppose it does.

You probably shouldn't evade the filter though, at least not with a spoiler.

I'm guessing what you said here, but you should think about if using such words as insults might hurt bystanders.

example of ablest languagelike could you see how calling someone a pathetic cripple might make physically handicapped people upset? Kinda similar with insulting someone's intelligence. Just something to think about.

There is a limit to how long usernames/nicknames can be on lemmy. You might have to only do like NOOBMASTER (she) or some shorter nickname for it to let you save it.

I think there are already limits to T levels? I don't follow sports closely though.

there’s also other body differences that might not have anything to do with current testosterone level

Like what? Bone density changes with hrt, that's the only example I see people use.

How are marxists and trans people enemies ideologically? Is that what you're saying?

I can do all of those things, unlimited purging of transphobes.
