First off, why do these people talk like they’re giving a speech in a comic book movie? "If I must die, I would prefer to be stabbed in my chest, facing my enemy, that I may spit in his face as I expire." You’re on Twitter whining about the bad wizard lady, my friend. No one is trying to murder you.
Lol that's a good point. It is a very capeshit inspired speech. I'm reminded when
CWC rewrote that speech from Independence Day. It has the same vibe.
Sometimes I wonder if archaeologists in 500 years are going to misinterpret star wars and comic book characters as a prominent religious movement of the latter 20th / early 21st century.
Or maybe we got it wrong and the Greek and Norse gods were just their contemporary capeshit.

I'm honestly curious if this guy somehow actually believes what he typed here. As medical kiwis (or any osteo/forensic kiwis) can confirm, this is 100% a male pelvis and could have come straight out of a textbook.

Why do they think hormones are magic? The only thing cross-sex hormones can do to your bones is make them brittle, it's not magical wizard juice.
So, there are some interesting effects of estrogen on pelvis shape, at least in real women. Some of the connections between the bones are somewhat flexible and estrogen does widen them, to prepare them for possibly giving birth. So there are studies that show that the hips widen when fertility peaks and then later, narrow a bit during menopause when the hormone levels drop a bit.
However, these changes are all within the baseline dimensions that nature sets normally anyway. I don't think a male exposed to unhealthy, unnatural amounts of exogenous estrogen is going to develop "child-birthing hips" (what a gross weirdo, btw). Maybe wider hips? But probably not by much.
And yeah, you're probably right, in that any bone changes are probably going to be 90% mineral loss. When you hear about troons getting smaller feet or getting shorter, that's because they're artificially inducing osteoporosis, not because they're uwu being transformed into females (they're not, that's not a thing).
It's kinda like ftms (or just steroid abusers, like East German olympic athletes) might be able to roid out their clit with testosterone. But at the end of the day, they still missed the
masculinization programming window in utero. If you miss that window, no amount of testosterone is going to turn a clitoris into a penis. It just turns into, well, a roided out clit.
And that's fine if that's your weird fetish. I'm just not going to pay for it. Nor am I going to entertain science fiction arguments that have actual political implications for women.
