What an absurd statement. It's a) not a fucking competition and b) nearly impossible for you to know that and c) not going to be universal for all balls-havers and all labia-havers.

Also, like, what is your comment even aiming to achieve?

Are you hoping people will be like, "oh yes, I'm interested in learning how we could improve the lives of women but this insightful comment about balls made me really think about how I shouldn't"?

As a trans person, having both equipment, and being a long distance cyclist. I was just sharing my experience.

But as usual the anti-trans people on HN have censored my comment.

Sharing my opinion in a way that people hate I guess?

How dare I share the recommendation for women's padded underwear.

Then I retract b) in this case. You are in the nearly impossible case - a woman who does know that, for them, the situation was worse as a balls-haver.

But it's hard to generalize, and the original comment did an extremely typical thing in men's spaces -- taking a woman's experience and immediately responding with "but men also!" Could be your comment simply coincidentally fit the pattern.

Also, extremely fuck that transphobe poster. They can eat shit.
