Like, did your actual center of gravity or muscular attributes change over time to make you pass or fail where previously you had the other outcome of one of these alleged "men can't do this but women can" type challenges?

The point on pelvic tilt is especially fascinating to me!

I am a cis male who's been getting a lot more into latin styles of partner dancing these past years, a focus of the level I've been getting into lately is body-movement generally but including hip position / pelvic tilt. As I've gained more awareness of my own body in everyday life I've come to assume that fem people must have a "more tilted" pelvis when in a neutral position because of non-specific societal pressures.

If I'm understanding your statement correctly though, the neutral angle of one's pelvis has a strong correlation with the hormone balance or, perhaps more directly, the muscle/fat distribution around their body. Is that right?

I'd even go further and confidently call it causal. This is very much a thing that happens soon after ( < 1 year but mileage varies) you start gender affirming hormone therapy, at any age. nobody's fully sure on the exact causes, but the one most certain thing is that it's a multitude of factors - potentially, but also not limited to, the blend of tightness/looseness of ligaments and tendons that hold your pelvis neutral, the muscle mass and strength of muscles involved in posture, the amount of fat/weight your pelvis has to carry, and for trans people lucky enough to start gender affirming hormone therapy during puberty, the actual bone shape of your pelvis (although this last one shouldn't be too overstated - again, transfems transitioning well into their 50s and 60s notice changes in gait, balance, and posture).

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
