fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper

update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna “the chilli queen” skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen

in an interview when someone asked her how she managed to do it she straight up said she's gone through harder shit being trans than eating a pepper

people slipping up and saying shit like “biological name” instead of “deadname” is more or less proof these people don’t actually care about real science they just want smart sounding words and i guarantee if we could manipulate chromosomes they’d abandon all pretext of science and start yammering about how people are born with a “masculine/feminine essence” that “cant be changed” like none of these people actually know the chromosomes real fuckin function and they dont care they just know they cant be changed

i changed my name for non gender related reasons and people like to ask me “what’s your birth name” and i say “oh i actually wasn’t born with a name my parents just gave me one” and that tends to shut people up

Damn nice

that’s an excellent response. gonna have to steal it

That’s so perfect I can’t even compete with my annacdote about how my parents just never got around to naming me.

No hang on I need to hear that anecdote

you were literally assigned baby at birth
