>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.

Exactly. I wish these men would stop trying to insert themselves into every discussion on women's issues as if they have personal experience of being female. It's really irritating and just derails the conversation into propping up their fantasy.

I have years of personal experience being female. It's two different worlds. Happy to take any questions.

You are a transwoman, right? That means you are by definition male, not female. Nothing wrong with that, just a fact of one's sex.

I'm sure you could expound at length on the experiences of being a feminized male and the experience of transitioning to that state, and it may well be an interesting story to tell.

But that's not the same as being female and having the authentic lifelong experience of growing up as a girl to a woman. So it doesn't make sense to be commenting authoritatively on female issues.

Do you disagree and if so why?

No, 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.

May 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.

I'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.

Wow. So full postmodern scientific gigastacey anti-realism. To be fair, I think we're all doing the same thing deep down. The only differences are how subjectively convincing the justifications for it are. https://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=14

Your only problem is that most people won't agree with your ontology and will perceive this as going fully mask off on reality in order to accommodate mental illness. Which, if that's what it all always was, is good to know. Based and redpilled.

I 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?

Not 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."

Sounds about right. And most likely too, he immerses himself in an echo chamber of other males who believe the same reality-defying nonsense.

Could you give us some more details?

I transitioned several years ago. They are two different worlds.
