That's some 4d chess moves. I am impressed.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Then you have cases like the one in Tennessee, where a trans woman did this to protest not being given an accurate drivers license. The police responded by arresting her for exposing female breasts. And then they threw her in a men's prison.

There is a long precedent in the law of treating trans people as male or female, whichever will hurt them most in the moment. That's the standard for most conservatives. "We'll treat you right now as whatever sex would hurt you the most, and we won't care about being consistent about it."

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

It is terrible how they are treated. They are just people who want to live their lives.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

The difference is US police are above the law. In Scotland they would face repercussions for breaking the law.

Awe, mine are only 36b 😔

I see what you did there.

Removing excess breast tissue from cisgender men is a very common gender affirming procedure.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 34 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can it be reused? Like, double it and give it to the next person?

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 65 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not only can they, they have to

What if the only pet you have is a snake, a parakeet, or a hamster?

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

We've converted your parakeet to a tit.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Have you ever seen a snake with big boobs try to do anything? Me neither, but I suspect it would be extremely difficult

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ironically, one of the side effects of using testosterone - commonly used for men with low testosterone - is breast tissue growth.

Surgery to remove it would be a double whammy of (CIS) gender affirming care.

Excess testosterone will be converted into estrogen by the body, for anyone else confused as to why we all didn’t have boobs.

Testosterone itself (in the body) suppresses boob growth.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ooh. That makes sense. I read that on a side effects list and thought it was interesting, but didn’t realize that was the mechanism of action.

I would suppose if someone grows breast tissue from using testosterone, then they should use less. (Which kind of means my original comment is a bit circular, or rather, the surgery would perhaps be unnecessary if the correct amounts/dosage were used.)

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Aye, but if the dose of T is not too high (a person can need a certain level to feel healthy), their doctor can prescribe a Aromatase inhibitor instead (the enzyme which converts T -> E)

However, if they leave it too long (1yr+) and the tissue becomes fibrotic; then surgery is the only way to remove it. So your hypothetical has no doubt happened.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

~~Excess~~ testosterone will be converted into estrogen by the body

FTFY

Aromatization of testosterone happens in everyone, regardless if they have "excess" testosterone or not

New York City solve this silly problem by simply making it legal for both men and women to be a topless in public. Although few women decide to do that, at least they can’t get arrested for it anymore.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 38 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Exactly. We've had this in Canada for ages. In my 40 years I've seen exactly one woman exercise that right, but they still ought to have it.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Seattle has legal nudity and my trans self spent the last few years regularly wandering around topless and even totally nude. I don't miss the US but there are things I miss about Seattle

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Seattle was a neat place to live, if only I could have afforded it longer. You go broke unless you work for a tech company at this point. The casual nudity was fun.

[–] Noturbuddy@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I'm not gay but them some nice titties

[–] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Fellas, is it gay to like tits?

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you're a conservative, it's gay to like women in general.

[–] Noturbuddy@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah I only like other dudes that have resilience, hustle, and know how to grind. Who has time for females?

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Nah. Just enjoy boobies. If you like em, that's good enough.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 4 days ago

Trans women by and large have fantastic boobs.

From this I can conclude that you are male.

Truly a modern Zen riddle.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 32 points 5 days ago

I know mommy milkers when I see em

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This has been posted before and once again no links to the uncensored version... sigh

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just had to include "uncensored" as a term in your search and search images with blur off. I assume you're just looking for boobies, and not looking for uncensored pictures and unbiased, accurate news reporting in the same place.

[–] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I prefer my erotica just a click away thanks.

Jealous in American that they can fund their tits & their tattoos while taking time off work #transrights

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I think the people who most need to understand why you'd be jealous, as well as why these gals would hold up "don't destroy us plz" signs while being all attention grabbing, will not be answering the phone.

I was raised in 80s and 90s maga world before it had a brand. And there are two things that I consistently see them do, which makes a lot of sense vis-a-vis the recent saying about conservatism having the in group the law protects and the out group it binds. It is these two things that blind them to the various messages of human rights. (there's a depressing sentence to honestly write about real people I know)

First they generalize, caricaturize, and exclude. They lump in these non-cis protesters right along with the non-christians, non-straights, non-whites, and various other "why can't you just be a normal person" rest of humanities.

The racism, bigotry, and LGBT+phobias are a convenient way to narrow down one's perceived size of the "in group" candidate pool, which obviously still includes them. They are not in the leopards' food chain. Obviously.

The second thing they do is conform. It goes hand in hand with the bigotry of course, but it also has to do with the fucked up psychology that goes into keeping up appearances and covering up the family's skeletons so that you always look like one of the in-group. Like if your princess needed an abortion, not only was HER's obviously the rare moral one, but nobody needs to know about it because she has her whole future ahead of her!

That's just tribalism, sure. And conservatives are bad about it in general, yes. But they can be REALLY bad about it when it comes to money, because they hate poor people. Even if they are poor. Because they need somebody to look down on. But even "good folks" can be rebranded as "poor white trash" if they don't maintain the perceived standards of the in-group.

Wilhoit's law:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

After writing this post I'm thinking Wilhoit's law might just exactly right, so there's the text.

Clearly you get it. Thanks
