Now downvote me to hell and then ask an admin delete my comment for being transphobic

And they didn't say we shouldn't have any teams, they said teams not be divided by sex.
Is it hard? I've built several PCs and repair seems like a good line of work for me, but I know nothing about the individual components of the parts
If a gender diverse person tells me that their gender changed, then their gender changed.
The problem is that you're assuming the past gender of trans women categorically.
But to say that the only way for trans people to be is the way you perceive them to be
I am quite explicitly not saying this.
You said:
She wasn’t born a man. Trans women don’t “become” women. They stop hiding the fact they are
I'm trying to tell you that this claim is not just wrong, but it's a harmful over-generalization. I was not a girl for the first ~12-16 years of my life, and that's why I'm telling you our identities (past and present) are ours to determine, not yours. I was a boy, I did become a girl. I was comfortably cis for a long time, but things changed as I grew up.
Reading this stuff today only serves to drag those anxieties back up, because if we assume your claim is true then I either wasn't a boy back then, or I'm not a trans woman now. I have to sit here and think about how you're wrong, and why trans people don't have to have always been trans in order to transition and be valid.
That's what motivated me to respond to you. Whether or not you're willing to grapple with the idea that you may be hurting people is your prerogative, I'm just telling you those claims have done harm to me in the past and may be harmful to others now, specifically young cis people.
It doesn't seem to work, at least on my instance (lemm.ee)... I just tested it through this post which links to this thread, but it navigated me to lemmy.nl from lemm.ee
Big true. I was telling some rando in Overwatch that I liked wearing my mask/apron at work during the pandemic because customers constantly mistook me for a woman, and that gave me a lot of confidence.
She said "but... you're cis? I don't know any cis people that say things like that." And then my whole worldview shattered, and everything made so much more sense🫠

They were literally bred to fight
Most pit bull-type dogs descend from the British Bull and terrier, a 19th-century dog-fighting type developed from crosses between the Old English Bulldog and the Old English Terrier.
