>I've lived a life in both shoes
No you haven't.
>but unless you've lived a life in both shoes
Which isn't possible. Just like it's not possible to live life as a goldfish, but we have great understanding of how goldfish live.
>it's not worse for men
All statistics on violent crime, deaths due to crime, deaths due to workplace violence, deaths due to workplace accidents, homelessness, etc. all show that men are the primary victims.
>it's not coming from a place of experience.
Anecdotal evidence is meaningless at population scale. Luckily we have population statistics that provide us the objective truth.

- kelseyfrog 2y agoI have years of personal experience being female. It's two different worlds. Happy to take any questions.

- kelseyfrog 2y agoNo, sorry. I'm definitionally and descriptively female. No one has more authority over who I am than me. Just as you have authority over who you are. I didn't say I was an authority on the female experience; no one is. I am an authority on my own personal experience as female. I'd rather not turn this into a definitions discussion as a way to discredit my experience. I've interacted with hundreds of people who perceive and treat me based on what they and I believe me to be. There is no one outside of myself that can draw a line and say that doesn't count. It really feels like this is turning into a cross-examination rather than curious conversation.
- aidou 2y agoMay I ask how you came to believe you are female? Most transwomen make the distinction between the reality of their sex (male) and what they perceive to be their gender (woman), so I'm curious as to why you've decided to call yourself female.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoI've given myself permission to be my own ontological authority. We could unpack how people tend to view ontological relationships and their propensity to leave reification unexamined. But I believe I'm an active participant in creating my reality and choose to do so for myself as I see fit.

- aidou 2y agoI see. Would you agree that this is in the same category as people who believe themselves to be some famous historical figure, such as Jesus Christ, even though this self-belief doesn't correspond with any reality external to their own perception?
- anonfordays 2y agoNot surprised that you didn't get a response. To sum it up: "I'm a mentally ill man who delusionally believes that I'm a women. I lie to myself and others about my sex/gender by abusing a sophomoric understanding of nihilism."
- aidou 2y agoSounds about right. And most likely too, he immerses himself in an echo chamber of other males who believe the same reality-defying nonsense.
