Welcome to my Lemmy page!
I’m into:
Sorry this is bothering me a bit but if by “He” you meant me, I use she/her pronouns I’ll put It in my bio :)
Like, there are women out there with higher testorone than the average man
No, that doesn’t happen, the adrenal glands and ovaries do not produce enough t to reach even very low male levels, testosterone for the most part is produced in the testicules which cis women do not have. that much testosterone would transition a woman into a man, they would grow beard and get a deeper voice, that’s how HRT works for FtMs.
Yep! I suppose we could build a huge Tank or something XD
huh i hadn’t heard of this one? I went to a dam last year and that’s what the guide told us…
because solar panels are not a controllable energy source, solar is great until there’s a cloud or it’s nighttime, coal on the other hand is a controllable energy source. Since we can’t effectively store energy we have to be constantly producing enough for the whole population, it’s a really hard job!
Did you know that the best way we currently have to store energy are dams? In most dams you can install a pump to take water and store it higher, then when energy is needed you simply open the turbine.
No it’s not? You’re saying things that don’t make sense, if you’re assigned female at birth you have ovaries (assuming no intersex condition) if you’re assigned male at birth you have testicules (assuming same thing)
The ovaries produce estrogen (in three different forms E2 is the most important) And progesterone. The testicules produce testosterone and testosterone can decay into dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
If an individual has more estrogen they will have a female phenotype (essentially they will look like a woman have breasts soft skin etc…)
If an individual has more Testosterone and DHT they will have a male phenotype. ( More strength, stronger jaw, more body hair, going bald in a lot of cases)
I’m a Trans woman, the point of hormone replacement therapy is to take my testosterone away and give me estrogen instead, after a while (and possibly some surgeries for bone structure) I’ll look like a woman, because that’s what hormones do. In the same vein since I don’t have T in my blood anymore I am losing strength, and my body hair is getting thinner (although if it could hurry up a bit!) there’s nothing transphobic about acknowledging that happens, it’s literally the desired effect!
If you’re still confused about NB people just know that some do take cross sex hormones to achieve a more androgynous look.
