I think it's also important to remember that you do this for sport. It's not a "fight for realsies". Spar partners aren't supposed to want to really, truly hurt each other. There are rules and equipment that try to keep serious injury from happening and anyone who thinks the men in these situations sparring with women aren't holding back, well, a have some ocean view property in Ohio to sell you.
If they are holding back, they're being told multiple times from multiple different people to not hold back so they're doin it wrong. There is probably some "hitting a girl" at play, whether we want to believe it or not, though
I still think sane men have an internal taboo against striking a woman with full force. They won’t do it (and honestly I can’t really think of any situation where they would need to, the bell curves overlap such that the very strongest women are still only comparable to the weakest men). The ones who lack this taboo are either severely deranged or have some form of impairment or autism.
Not only will their instincts and plain logic stop it but most all have been socialized repeatedly not to use full force against a girl. It's deeply ingrained. Only psychos who legit want to do real harm aren't gonna.

Yet another instance of 'almost getting it'. As far as I've experienced, he basically just described all troons there. I can almost guarantee that 'tired_nerd_girl' is scarcely more convincing as a woman than the 50 year old balding man in the story, which is presumably why he later cried about the experience.
But they want recognition and representation. Isn't people clocking them and pointing them out exactly that and validation that they exist?
I read earlier ITT about a troon who was incensed that a coworker kept calling him “my esteemed colleague, (troon’s preferred first name)” to avoid using a pronoun and HR was somewhat stymied as “esteemed colleague” isn’t a hostile thing to say.
Haha yes also classic.
Right. After all of a month?
Oh come on now.
Oh, nice. If I was ever in a situation where I had to play pretend with a tranny, I'd use something like "my esteemed colleague" as a loophole too.
OMFG these people. A man is an adult human male. That's it. That's all. It's not a fucking feeling.
We are fucking mammals, and our Gender should be determined by the same standard as all others, and it was until this lunacy started.
Age 27, and talking about being "in trouble" with anyone other than cops/feds. Sharing a bedroom with an adult brother, and sniffs his bedding. Trooning out. It's a miracle this person doesn't have a thread here already
You guys say Hugo Weaving, but that is very clearly Nick Cave having a complete mental breakdown
It’s kind of a “you lost the Game” scenario. If you have to think about cut, you aren’t a man.
