The OP shared his good fortune. If the title was something that was going to agitate you and result in you being hostile instead of offering productive feedback/discourse, why not just be a god damn adult and click that 'ignore' button and hide the thread.

There's a serious problem with people trying to bring down other people just because they, themselves, are in a hard spot. We should be better than that. There's nothing wrong in celebrating in someone else's success.

OP, congrats on the huge bonus. You've obviously earned it, as it's 50% of your base. Investing half of it in a long term investment may be some of the best long term advice. The rest? Go do something fun for yourself, partner, and/or friends/family.

What is this? A sane response from Era staff? ColdSun's Hogwarts Legacy achievements about to get discovered.

If only they'd expand this policy...

If they were really guided by the science, they wouldn’t be doing it. Disgusting anti trans people.

muscles mass, internal organ size, skeletal structure and the overall longterm effects of testosterone do not exist!

https://theconversation.com/how-world-sport-got-into-a-mess-over-trans-athletes-and-how-it-can-get-out-of-it-202188

One new development has been a sort of quietening on the scientific front. Although you still get the odd piece trying to make the claim that testosterone suppression can remove male advantage, most of the serious people in the debate have given up on this claim. A systematic review of studies showed that, even if hormone therapy reduces levels to those seen in women, strength, lean body mass and muscle area remained higher for at least three years. And we always knew that the skeletal advantages remained.

The fascinating thing about RE is that they claim to be so firmly on the side of science while never even taking a look at that science.

Like what are the chances that posting this study would get you banned?

Results Twenty-four studies were identified and reviewed. Transwomen experienced significant decreases in all parameters measured, with different time courses noted. After 4 months of hormone therapy, transwomen have Hgb/HCT levels equivalent to those of cisgender women. After 12 months of hormone therapy, significant decreases in measures of strength, LBM and muscle area are observed. The effects of longer duration therapy (36 months) in eliciting further decrements in these measures are unclear due to paucity of data. Notwithstanding, values for strength, LBM and muscle area in transwomen remain above those of cisgender women, even after 36 months of hormone therapy.

Conclusion In transwomen, hormone therapy rapidly reduces Hgb to levels seen in cisgender women. In contrast, hormone therapy decreases strength, LBM and muscle area, yet values remain above that observed in cisgender women, even after 36 months. These findings suggest that strength may be well preserved in transwomen during the first 3 years of hormone therapy.

By RE's logic, I guess they should be totally fine if instead of calling certain legislation anti-trans, everyone calls it anti-biological-males-wearing-dresses since it doesn't just affect trans people but also drag queens. I'm sure they'll be totally fine with that framing since it's more inclusive.

I feel like any time Trans Era wonders why a given Very Important Trans Thread is getting ignored by the cis, they could just reread a random Jessi777 post.

Are you Trans? If so maybe attacking the majority trans users with a problem with this is not a good look in public. If not, kindly shut the fuck up and stop telling me how to feel about my own oppression. And since most cis "allies" who talk the right talk still disappear when shit  gets real how am I supposed to put any faith in someone spewing terf points.

And if you're not trans I don't give a shit what you have to say. We don't get support now, deferring to others just weakens us and we still don't get the support. It's not a political issue, or a debate, it's basic human rights, my right to live, be me, and pursue my happiness as long as I'm not hurting others, it's a basic freedom everyone should have and cis people of any political spectrum need to keep our community's name out there mouth. If you're cis and engaging in the "debate" you're hurting us by making it into something that is an "issue" and needs a "debate" when it's not. It's basic human fucking rights.

Are you trans and disagreeing? If so fuck you for arguing in front of the cis. Are you cis and disagreeing? Fuck you for arguing. Are you cis and agreeing? Fuck you for disappearing when shit gets real and for participating in the discussion at all.

It's the way alternative facts on Resetera work. It starts with "Cyberpunk 2077 might be problematic" and ends with "Cyberpunk 2077 is an anti-trans manifesto"

Meanwhile anyone who disagrees with it gets banned, fostering the echo chamber. Like they even banned the person you quoted for stating that trans athletes would be taller, which statistically would obviously be the case.

So they've made the firmly misogynistic statement that men are better than women and always will be. Like it's a god damn cheat code.

I think it might be considered misogynistic to say that at the highest levels that men don't have a physical advantage in every sport. Otherwise we are calling women lazy (or too dumb to train correctly). Of course a talented trained woman is going to outperform untrained or untalented men.

We are comparing the extremes of the bell curve for men and women and, for any given sport, the combination of characteristics that make someone competitive at the highest levels is going to favor men (by varying degrees). It can sometimes be something super obvious like raw power (I can outproduce the wattage of women's olympic cyclists but I am nowhere near a pro in men's cycling) or other more subtle ways like height and build (they might not give me much of an advantage in a sport like cycling but might in something like swimming or basketball). Again, the bell curve extremes are going to be the optimal blend of every minor and major advantage an athlete can get for a given sport so unless transitioning addresses all of them then it really isn't fair to compete against those born female. The best way to handle this in sports is something I haven't figured out.

I do call bullshit on the banning of Caster (born and raised female regardless of testosterone levels) - basically a naturally physical outlier of outliers for women.

I gotta be honest the way this thread is going really highlights the problem with online left discourse. Should Ana have chosen better words? Yes. Should she educate herself about trans terms and how to frame her arguments? Yes. Just because she slips up and has to educate herself about new terms that frankly the entire world is having to learn, does that mean she should be thrown under the bus? Of course not.

People who say that Ana is on the same level as Ben Shapiro and other bigots for this clearly have no idea what they are talking about. Anyone who knows what TYT or Ana talks about clearly knows they are allies for trans causes and frankly are not being honest if they say otherwise. People are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. We all have. Let's try to have a little grace for people that are fighting for the right causes even if they're not our cup of tea.

Discourse like this makes the online left miss the forest through the trees. Instead of trying to rally to fight back against transphobia, we're throwing our allies under the bus needlessly.

I havent looked at the science of this so i have no opinion. But i know better than to ask questions about topics like this on era so i'll just read them and if someone posts something that answers my questions great and the other questions i might have are just gonna have to stay unanswered.

Thank you for not looking at the science or articles that have been posted by trans people in this thread to educate yourself, and instead feeling persecuted and silenced. Would you describe yourself as “worried about being cancelled”?

He says with no reflection in a thread where posters are getting perm’d in a heartbeat if they even ask a question, much less disagree.

As to the ‘science or articles’ mentioned, which would suggest there are multiple?

That’s it. Yup, only link… a review of existing scientific literature done by a ‘research hub for gender+ equity in sport’.

It’s pretty predictable in its screed, especially on the conclusion. Yet, even in their section on Biological Considerations…

Biological data in this area are severely limited. In fact, an illuminating place to start is to note that, “to date, there have been no prospective studies investigating the changes in athletic performance in transgender athletes after hormonal transition” (Harper et al., 2021, p. 1), and many pertinent biological questions remained unexplored. The data that do exist often come with methodological concerns, and/or are limited in their ability to generalize to elite transgender athletes.

Yeeeaaaah, so a scientific literature review where the literature is near absent.

 

And that is what they are using for their ‘science’.

Why do these organizations care so much about Women. If this were truly about being fair then why only target Women? Is there no concern for the protection of Trans Men competing against Cis Men? Shouldn't they also stand up for Men who may have gone through female puberty?

They always treat this as a gotcha for some reason.

No one cares about trans men competing as men for the same reason why nobody cares about boxers choosing to compete in a higher weight class.

Hell, I bet most people wouldn’t care about a cis woman choosing to compete against cis men if she was good enough.

Honestly, i think a lot of people have a differing opinion on this topic, but are afraid to voice / type it in this thread.

I want to ban him but he was too vague and non-committal

Ask your questions respectfully, make sure they haven’t already been answered in this thread, and stop declaring preemptively that we’re going to crucify you for asking and I think you’ll be fine

Riiiight.

The passive aggressive pre self victimization that you willingly posted while otherwise declaring your attention to supposedly learn quietly is truly an effective way to ingratiate yourself with us

As she knows, the only effective way is supplication.

Wondering when this story is going to somehow be spun to attack trans people.

Yup, pretty much what I was scrolling the thread to see.

Yeah, well, look how y'all act...

Also, referring to cis women as "biological" women is TERF shit too.

 

FACT CHECK:

Lots of people pointed why this person was using terf talking points but i want to focus on this

"biological women's category" is straight up terf 101 because it implies trans women are either cyborgs or not really women.
Trans women are biological. Trans women use biological hormones to biologically change their biological bodies to match biological standards.

Using "biological women" instead of "cis women" is a classic terf strategy

“Uncle”, say what you really mean, TERF

Goddamn. How self-centered do these fuckers need to be? Thread that has nothing to do with trans people, and yet they come in to, as incelsheet would say, "self-victimize" themselves. And there's zero pushback since all that will do is you end up getting dogpiled and banned.

Only trans members have the right to take over threads and "self-victimize" and make it all about their trans genocide, you chud.
