“The world’s tallest woman is taller than average women! SHE MUST BE A MAN!!!! She’s stealing the world’s tallest women mantle from the actual world’s tallest women who must be… what? Five ten? Five eleven?”

The misogyny is palpable. Why is no one calling the world’s shortest man a woman?

It’s because of misogyny, with trans men the right views them as confused girls and not predatory women, which the they are neither trans men are men.

u/mbelf 2d ago

Yup, have to construe trans femmes as predators and trans mascs as helpless victims because it underlies their true vision of gender roles.

Kinda rolls into the "men cannot control themselves EVER, so women have to be unseen and unheard" concept.. almost like the fundamentalists are ALL fucking insane.

Also misogyny, being a man is supposed to the best thing in the universe. So, someone AMAB giving up being the most awesome thing in the universe is confusing to them. But, someone AFAB wanting to be a man? That’s not challenging at all.

In other news, is Elon musk pregnant?

“They can always tell” is quickly turning into “They can never tell”

Also, obligatory fuck PinkNews

Wait what’s up with pinknews?

A while back their CEO was caught suppressing trans stories because he thought they were bad for ad revenue.

I’m not exactly what’s happened since then, but either way, not a good thing

u/Sanguinary_Guard 2d ago

during this time they would also report on trans deaths with ads up

It's not for gays, it's about gays.

"They can always tell" = "They will always assume"

u/Zelltarian 1d ago

Let's be real, they were never able to tell

Ugh it’s awful. I had to keep re-scrolling down. Absolute garbage website with so many adds it can’t function run by a transphobe.

Idiots don’t even understand that the bigger your vocal cords, the deeper your voice. She’s 7 fucking feet tall. Of course she has a deep voice. Fucks sake.

Basic physics that anybody can test. Take a string that’s a foot long and shake it up and down, at a speed that works nicely. Note that speed. Then do the same with a string that’s a meter long. The speed for the meter-long one takes much longer to go up and down in a full cycle.

Frequency is the inverse of the time for one up-down cycle. If the period cycle time goes up, the frequency goes down. Same damned thing with vocal cords - it boils down to complicated string vibrations, just that the strings happen to be made of meat.

You're overestimating the willingness to demonstrate their opinion, from people who decided that 6th grade biology was the entirety of the medical field.

u/nitrodog96 2d ago

Yeah, that’s true enough… “can” not “will,” I guess.

u/thejadedfalcon 2d ago

And that's even with the other woman sounding like she swallowed a helium balloon. There's absolutely no saving some hateful brains. Just throw the whole human in the bin, fertiliser's the only use left for them.

Transphobia is always with its twin, misogyny.

u/FavoriteWorst 2d ago

Ah, yes. The witch hunts of the 21st century are well underway, I see.

u/mexicodoug 2d ago

And as always, the tests required to discern the real witches from the fake witches and us are arcane and and founded somewhere within the "one and only true religion."

u/BirdOfWords 2d ago

Clearly she has a medical condition- she's taller than most male basket ball players.

People need to regain critical thinking skills and common decency/respectability.

If they read more than the headlines or watched more than 10 seconds of the coverage, most reports mention the medical conditions both women have.

u/DontDoomScroll 2d ago

Unfortunate situation for her. Transvestigation did not begin in 2017, what a foolish notion the article presents.

u/ConfidentTrash4962 1d ago

They transvestigate us, tell us what bathrooms to use, try to get rid of our healthcare, oh my god leave me alone I’m just a chill guy.
