Rachel Reid after
4 yrs of HRT , and one that served 2 tours in the Marines, the amount
of muscle mass lass after 2 yrs was massive , my testosterone is ...7
and as been lower and the norm for a woman is .1-.8. not to mention my
estradiol level is now 149 so this thought
that someone like me would have a muscular advantage is seriously
flawed. i talked to another trans woman marine and she has the same
issue with muscle mass loss. there is no advantange if on HRT.
Jessie Except when sexual dimorphism comes into play (ie height and bones)
Shannon Humans
don't even have much sexual dimorphism. There are plenty of women
taller and stronger than men. It's not a valid argument to exclude trans
women. There is NO valid argument to exclude trans people in general.
Rachel Reid i
lost one inch in height, now at 5'6" and the estrogen allow the hips to
shift forward in the tendons..... there is no advantage .... it is an
equal playing field..... i benched at 20 yo 240 lbs in the Marines, at
51 yo when i started HRT i could do ...See More
Jessica It's
a lot... I have recently stopped field work because I just can't do it
anymore. With the hormones on top of my old injuries I can't perform
like I used to. The changes are immense... You can't understand without
going through them but you can take or word.
Hemming I know a fair few cis women taller and stronger than some cis dudes I know
Sid Rachel Reid Thank you for your service smile emoticon ( in the marines )
Rachel Reid Sid Menon uw and thank for that compliment too
Lisa Rosenfield Right.
Just walking down the street I can hardly tell a male from a female.
Women are just as hairy, men's hips are wide, women's voices are just as
deep. And as a massage therapist I can hardly tell the difference when I
touch bodies. I have to be really careful not expose men's breasts.
Yes, sarcasm intended.
Jacqui Broekhof oh ffs
Jacqui Broekhof you
have to be joking Lisa Rosenfield! you cant tell a male from a female? i
do bodywork and the difference is immediately obvious. Who are you
trying to kid?
Jacqui Broekhof Rachel Reid you are deluded
Kelsey Jay Bullshit--- you don't all the sudden have the strength of a woman just because you take estrogen.
Tori Barron Thank you Dr. Jay...
Kelsey Jay Btw--- why so many Transgender males in the armed forces??? What exactly do they do to you guys??
Rachel Reid I
hear it is because we prove to be a man..... but i think it more
simplistic ...... with me i lived in a small town , Hollidaysburg, pa,
population maybe 10k, and the one way of thinking and no options, left
me few options since my family was not rich...See More
Kelsey Jay Just
because you liked feminine things and had feminine behaviors does not
make you a girl... your biology doesn't change just because you like
girly things...
Rachel Reid first
you do not know me and i cannot argue with people that think the world
is flat. but the fact is the largest sex organ in the body is the brain
not what is between your legs and I will leave it at that !!!
Kelsey Jay Sorry, women don't have dicks...
Rachel Reid your
lack of intelligence is noted and some women do not have uterus, one
woman posted today that she had a MRI which showed some male parts which
explain the need for HRT , yet she has a uterus and is pregnant........
you are crude, rude and hurtful but also wrong! you and others like
you are the reason only a few of us come out to speak about our lives
.... it is sad
Rachel Reid i
just read your page of how you share your views and you were threatened
by rape and murder by the trans comm.... i am deeply sorry others have
resorted to such low tactics and threats against you.. i am can assure
you that not all of us are like the ...See More
Frank Sumner Rachel,
you still have the build of a man. I have women friends who are as
tall as me, who work out and play sports, who even though they work out
more than I do, I can put them in a hold real quick. I am a man and
that means something, right? My si...See More
Rachel Reid has
nothing to do with a woman.......... people need to research and the
science is behind me, us, no i have the muscle mass of a woman, the
brain too the white and gray matter is the same as female not male
please look at the research before making co...See More
Rachel Reid like
a mutation in other species exist , which is male body and female
qualities , but it cannot happen in humans....that is totally
absurd....nothing is black and white ...... there is plenty of gray
Rachel Reid also
the estrogen , which happened when i was teen, shifted forward due to
estrogen.... this is scientific fact ....google estrogen and hips
shifting forward.......
Frank Sumner Women are BUILT differently, you do know that?
Rachel Reid look
at the research .... it says otherwise .... it all depends on family
DNA and genes with many transgender id people they might need from
100-400 mg of Spiro to block testosterone, and people like me need zero.
there is not a black and white answer...See More
Rachel Reid here is an article of how hormones affect injuries in women....... it is hormone based ...... take a peek........http://ajs.sagepub.com/content/30/2/182.abstract
Rachel Reid here
is prospective on me vs male!! i am sure most men can maintain an
erection however with me baring massive doses of Viagra and divine
intervention i will never have one again. plus i have 3 non cancerous
cyst in my left breast so i need mammograms each yr . no one chooses
this ...... trust me
