As someone who is AFAB and has naturally high testosterone, yeah it's bringing up some painful feelings.

Fuck these assholes.

    Yeah but I know lots of assholes who would see that and scoff "Those are women? Ha!"

    It's really annoying that when women are buff and prove their strength in sports where they are required to bulk up it's not really widely acknowledged as example of female achievement.

    Women are only women to normies when they do things that fit a narrow range of what the status quo considers "feminine" at the time.

      “Those are women? Ha!”

      And they'd be self reporting because EVERY weightlifter with any degree of discipline regarding staying on that shit will eventually look that way. That's not 'model shoot' bodybuilding, that is 'lumberjacked' bodybuilding. One of the homies I used to work out with went from couch potato with a jelly belly to straight up stout ball of muscle, homie was lookin like a butterball turkey, via deadlifts and squat press; regardless of gender that's just what happens to you when you're really hoisting hella plates like that

        Yeah it's a lot of the type of muscle people build depends on the exercise you're doing, regardless of sex. A lot of women's exercise focuses on exercise that won't bulk you up. This leads to people thinking bulk is abnormal on cis women which is just... untrue.
