The Stronger Sex? (nextbigideaclub.com)

Women are "the weaker sex". If you're living in a male-dominated world that just coincidentally happens to define "strength" by things that men happen to be good at.

But it turns out there's quite a few important ways in which women are the physically stronger sex…

There’s just no way it isn’t transphobic, even if unintentional.

how would you have worded things differently to avoid this?

The Whole Article (which is what we meant)?

We would have written it to be less binary and not used terms like women or female and just explained traits etc that gave advantages, explaining it with the understanding of modern science but in an approachable way.

that's not much of an explanation. I don't feel like you're obligated to, but also, if you assert something as true, you probably should be able to explain it.

Look, if you want us to rewrite the whole article we will. But you'll have to wait.

I would be interested to see how that works.

I love my transfolk friends and relatives. This is a transinclusive place. not trying to undermine that in any way. but I do want to understand things better if I can.

thank you.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
