We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally 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.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

All for boob prrocessing
Hmm... Men are more excited through visuals while women are more excited by touch.
I'm not actually sure if you are joking.
Eh, I prefer my boob processing to be tactile. Juuuust to check.
Speak for yourself I'm too busy looking at ass.
Man ass, woman ass, gay ass, straight ass. Idgaf.
Lemme see them cheeks.
it was more about the word in the background
Didn't even notice at first. Too busy looking at ass.
I think this is the most upvoted comment I've ever seen here
Because one comment has never contained so much truth.
What about trans men?
They can also process boobs if they'd like to
There have been some pretty interesting accounts of what it’s like to start testosterone. Vivid visual sexual fantasies and the like. Gives a new perspective on what being soaked in testosterone for decades does to your brain.
I’ll see if I can find some when I’m not on mobile.
You find testosterone better when not on mobile?
Yea accessing onion sites on mobile is annoying.
Yeah, ask any female bodybuilder what it's like and they will tell you exactly that. Despite many of them using doses of testosterone that are still lower than what an average man naturally has
We have processed boobs now too?! First they went for our chicken nuggets, and we didn't take notice....
Their bed nucleus of the stria terminalis should be twice as large as a woman's, and that's what guided their gender identities. Not that I'm a biological determinist, just a strict physicalist with no belief in metaphysical choice superceding determinism, but a lot of times the brain's development has recursive feedback loops such that smaller choices early on can alter the size of brain structures along with sex hormones and the development environment in the womb or even outside of it for a while, the earlier the more significant. All I know is that the size of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis is pretty consistently twice the size in men as it is in women regardless of the gender assigned at birth.
Hormones are weird and wonderful things
Trans men are assigned female at birth, FYI.
Yep, my point being that a trans man (AFAB) and a cis man (AMAB) both have their bed nucleus of the stria terminalis roughly the same size, twice the size of a woman's. A woman's is half the size of a man's, regardless of whether she's trans (AMAB) or cis (AFAB). So regardless of what the gender is assigned at birth, the relative size of the bed nucleus predicts the gender that the individual feels most comfortable as.
Has this been proven.
There's evidence, but I don't know enough of the science to tell how conclusive it is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7139786/#:~:text=Regarding%20grey%20matter%2C%20the%20main,the%20anterior%20hypothalamus%20(INAH3).
That was even more useless than this comment.
yeah... That's why they're trans men?
Thank god, i was worried they might be frogs.
