I would be very cautious with all outward representations of queerness to be honest. Even though make up and nails aren’t explicitly a “gay” thing, the country is very conservative and there would be a large risk

Hi, your results are amazing. I’ve been thinking about going with Miles Berry for a while now. I was wondering how big your chest was before surgery as I think my chest is quite big and I admire your results.
@charlieo8973 жыл бұрын
Hi James! Thanks so much for the comment. My previous chest size isn’t something I feel comfortable disclosing on the internet, I’m sorry! I’m also not in a position to guess what size range Miles Berry works with as I personally don’t know if there is a cut off point. Obviously the size of your chest does influence your results but the aftercare and resting properly is a big part of the healing too! So I wouldn’t worry too much, it’s just important you find the right surgeon for you. There are private groups on Facebook which discuss questions like this and share experiences, I also recommend getting a consultation and asking the surgeon directly. I understand they cost money, but doing more than one with different clinics and surgeons would allow you to know all your options! I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions feel free to follow me on Instagram and we can talk directly!

Fact check- UAE is the most tolerant countries in the gulf and MENA. There’s a public GAY scene in uae, you can see drag queens in JBR. There’s no death penalty for being gay in UAE. Stop spreading lies when you didn’t talk to a local. You should probably stop saying LGBT in the Middle East because that’s a western term that doesn’t reflect same sex attraction in MENA. We definitely have way too go but we’re definitely not genocidal heck the pride flag is flying in AD

Like all issues in the world there is always exceptions. Lgbt in countries like lebanon and Tunisia is so much better than any other country in mena region. Especially in beirut you cant beat the gay sence there. There is clubs and bars for lgbtq community and almost all caffes there is friendly gay. So YOUR EXPERIENCE IS IN UAE NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST

I see your presentation as extremely subjective and biased. The sources presented appear to be one sided, in that they are almost all hormonal based, i.e., prescribed hormone treatments, effects of hormonal treatments and hormone levels. There are many anecdotal indications of the physiological advantages of men, for example, in the US today, 300 HS boys can break many of the women world track records. A man named Zuby identified himself as a woman and proceeded to break almost all of the women's world records for weight lifting. The Williams sisters tennis players were utterly destroyed by a 200 ranked male tennis players. Of course, this does not include any hormone treatments (well, there are those 2 men in CT who have won 12 of 13 state championships and broken 11 state records), but it does provide some evidence that there is a much larger gap than the prescribed 10%-12% difference in post-hormonal competition levels. As an initial, visual comparison, men obviously have a much greater average size. Height, reach and mass will assist in such sports as rugby, handball and volleyball. Besides the visual differences there are a number of other physiological differences. The following physiological differences will not change upon any sort of hormonal treatments. There are many studies and documents that can be found online to indicate the following; Males have greater bone density (as well as larger joints and thicker cartilages), even with hormone treatments, males will only lose a fraction of the greater bone density. Males have a greater ratio of fast twitch muscles; Fast twitch muscles are optimized for short, intense activities, such as: Sprinting, powerlifting, strength training, high-intensity cycling. Males have a greater mean hemoglobin level, approximately 12% higher than females. More oxygen in the blood gives more energy to muscles. There are several differences between the size and function of men’s and women’s hearts. Following are several of the most notable ones. Size: By ratio, a woman’s heart and some of its chambers are smaller. Density: The walls that divide some of the chambers are thinner, and the veins are finer. Function: A woman’s heart pumps faster than a man’s, but a man’s heart ejects more blood with each pump. Females’ reduced airways diameter and lung volume result in lower peak expiratory flow and vital capacity. The most important consequence is women have a smaller maximal flow-volume loop. Their capacity to generate increased ventilation during exercise is, therefore, smaller with respect to men These differences provide enormous advantages to men and no doubt there are other advantages not listed here..
@Nathan-qk3ec3 жыл бұрын
I’m completely behind what you’ve said in this video. The way you’ve shown very little bias to either side to give a fair approach to both sides is really commendable. The negative opinions from the public is shocking and yes a lot of bills are being put in place rather hastily. However just saying the information doesn’t support there being an advantage when you’ve said there isn’t enough information out there is completely contradictory. As an athlete who has played at the highest level domestically in my sport I’d say that team sports can be the only sports that can begin to allow this cross competition fairly in professional settings. I.e Premier league football. Just because these positives and negatives need to be ironed out over time. The hasty nature of these bills is semi rash but in the short it is needed to protect the integrity of the sport. Especially those where there is a lot of money involved and they are only played 1v1, tennis for example. Sports where money doesn’t dominate need to be the short term targets to incorporate a better level of inclusion. I’ve tried to present a fair assessment of both sides and I have the upmost respect for people that want to partake in sport. The majority of everyday sportspeople will. I’ve competed in non competitive friendlies with female athletes enough to know they are far better at their sport than the average man so it does work both ways. However it all comes down to the short term argument and asking athletes to just accept that in a relatively short period of conversion an athlete with a potentially significant advantage can compete in the opposite sex and compete and beat people at the professional level is grossly unfair. Especially in sports where there is a lot of money involved. Unfortunately given that most sports nowadays place a massive focus on strength and conditioning over solely technique. The average is always going to favour the argument against inclusion in pro sport where significant money is involved. So my leaving thought is this. In my opinion the best way to solve it in the short term in terms of athletes is this. Any transgender athlete can only compete in the sport they play, against the sex they choose to identify as, up to the same standard that they competed at within their own sport. Thus deterring completely the possibility of someone switching for competitive and financial gain. I think at the moment that is a fair way to do it. In the case of people that pick up a sport after the switch there should be a maximum cap of amateur only. Any further inclusion at a pro level or playing above the level you played in your original sex should be on a case by case basis, judged by an independent body in tandem with the leading body of the sport. To judge financial gain and a physical advantage on opponents. As the only reason this has got so much traction as with everything else these days is financial gain.
@davidprince11383 жыл бұрын
The presentation is utterly one sided and biased. Also, I played a lot of amateur sports, myself, many coed, and I disagree with your claim that women, on average, are better at sports tan men. I would even say that is ludicrous. I mentioned only a few of the significant advantages that men have over women. Those sheer biological advantages are why there are a separation of men and women. Those advantages do not change simply because a man takes a hormone treatment.
