  • I’ve seen others say comparing one person’s score over time can be useful. So like if you were a 3, but now you are a 5 something has gotten worse.

    Also, it can be one aspect of determining if someone needs pain killers apparently.

    But it was only after more visual inspection in the ambulance they immediately gave me morphine.

    Can relate. When I broke my left wrist, I probably would have described the pain as a 1 at the ER if they had even bothered to ask; instead they just brought painkillers to me (just something like codeine) after seeing it (the x-ray tech was a bit surprised they didn’t go with an injection). When I broke my collar bone, I said 2-3 because I was afraid I wouldn’t be taken seriously if I said 1-2 at the ER (if I had seen a mirror with my shirt off beforehand, I might have been a less worried about that).


  • I wasn’t disagreeing with that part of the argument or suggesting that were limiting the discussion to trans women for nefarious reasons. I was only disagreeing with the quoted part. Biological sex is also a social construct, so the whole topic of physically being a man or woman biologically is still in the same realm of thought as race science, so I think the topic is sort of questionable to bring up at all. But even if we want to follow that logical, some trans women have far more in common with their body with a cis women who have had a hysterectomy that they do with cis men.

    I’m also not suggesting that trans women need medical interventions to be women. Just that if you tried to assume some logic to actions of transphobes (your biggest mistake), then even if you excluded neurological biological reasons, then biological sex should still allow those that meet the transmeds/truscums BS ideas at least, yet transphobes still take issue. Biological here is just a dog whistle.

    Also not suggesting that said person would necessary disagree - my goal was just to add to the topic.
