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.

            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.
