  • After checking, you can’t really make any conclusions with a sample size this small

    It tested 19 cisgender men and 12 trans men, along with 23 trans women and 21 cisgender women

    It could give an indicator but clearly not a definitive answer. This has little to no proof value, but hey, in this field, we’re pretty limited with sample size, so we’ll have to do with it.

    The reality seems to be that both sides lack scientific and statistical data to back 'em up. The only thing we know rn is that hormonotherapy should be required.

    This is no longer a science matter. Unfortunately, it’s become a political matter

    Totally agree with this however. This discussion and my recents bans are proof of this.

    Glass, stainless steel I guess.

    Use a water bottle in stainless steel: safe to drink from and to wash, not really heavy, and keeps the temperature. Stainless steel is for reusable containers, but I’m not sure you can recycle it easily and efficiently. It’s also a bit expensive.

    Glass is infinitely recyclable but it needs a lot of energy to be produced and recycled (you need to heat it a lot), is fragile, relatively expensive, and a lot is needed to make a good container, so it gets heavy, which might outweigh the positives sides it has.

    Short distribution channels would be the best

    Else, fruits and food that don’t really need packaging because they have a natural bacteria barrier, or something similar

    But yea I don’t see any good sanitary alternative. Since we’re bound to get microplastics I guess reusable containers that are only washed and reused a couple of times would be beneficial, at the cost of a little more microplastics.

    Some kind of paper to a certain extend for some things, but yea, nothing is as good as plastic :(

    Don’t use plastic where you don’t need to. And then maybe use cardboard+thin plastic for the rest: less recyclable, but less plastic 🤔. Depends on the route you want to choose: less pollution or less plastic waste

    I read it as “ban glass and cardboard as well”

    Unfortunately they also pollute quite a bit, and cardboard isn’t really safe for consumption. How do you store meat for example? Metal cans are expensive, and glass is expensive, fragile and heavy, making it a worse option, as weight has strong impacts.

    Now, it’s up to you to decide if you accept the non-phobic usage of these words, but it’s subjective. I personally think using such words in any context is bad but that’s just my opinion, and rules should be clear and not subject to interpretation.

    All of this to say that saying someone is transphobic just because they started a debate and doesn’t agree with you is a shitty and manipulating way of ending a debate by discrediting your opponent

    I think I made it clear enough that I had no intent of being transphobic. Whether or not those informations were true remains subject to analysis, but one cannot say with certainty that I am transphobic based on this. I can personally assure you I’m not. A respectful debate not based on hate can’t be dismissed as “hate speech” (transphobia).


  • The word transphobic has the meaning that it is globally transphobic, and as such, it needs a consensus. An individual may not say “it hurts me” and as such the word automatically become globally transphobic.

    If a black person says the term “black person” is racist and feels offended by it, it doesn’t mean they right about the term being racist. It just means that they were offended by it.


    Appart from that, being offended by something doesn’t mean that thing is Xphobic. This terminology specifically means the fear of, or the hate/rejection of…, at least in the commonly used meaning.

    Giving an opinion or inaccurate facts is not Xphobic if the intent was not there.

    A perfect example is how the nword can, depending on the context, be considered as a racial slur or not. This is proved by the fact everyday usage and the legal decisions in some countries, including mine.

    An example in my country, France, would be the word “pd” / “pédé” which literally means “faggot” in its usual meaning, and is homophobic due to that, but usage and context made it “not homophobic” in specific cases where the pejorative discriminatory intent was not meant, just like the nword.
