I know invariably some 4tran4 lurkers will see this. So here's my message to them.
There are different people here with different views. Most of us were driven here by censorship on mainstream social media.
I understand why things said by some folks here sound cruel and I understand what some of them went through to get where they are now.
Personally I did feel bad going through the original thread. I know it won't work if I tell you that you should accept yourselves. But I don't know what else to say.
You're a better person than me. I'll try to learn from your empathy and do better.
If any 4trans4 are reading this: if you were a spotted hyena you wouldn't have gender dysphoria, because nonhuman animals don't have a concept of gender. You would, however, regularly eat the poop of your prey and any carrion you might come across. Spotted hyenas are famously poop-eating. So be careful what you wish for, I guess? Or if that sounds appealing to you...? Idk, seek therapy.
Edit: feeling embarrassed because I really was trying to show more empathy. But reading it back...yeah I think this is the best I can do for now. Sorry.

Oh I definitely should learn from your empathy.
Hey 4trans4, none of you will ever be anything else than a male.

Given the cluster of fetishes these men have, scat eating is probably among them for at least a few.
The genitals are "unclockable" and yet still somehow we know the hyena is female despite her "dick" because...?
Also, female hyenas have to literally rip open to give birth through that. And it's a matriarchy.
The inanity of human "gender" would be the least of your worries if you were a hyena, you fucking moron. If you really want a trans analogy, hyenas are closer to what "transmen" are than their precious fucking seahorses, which are male and only gestate the eggs from the female. And we know they are male because they don't produce the eggs.
"Transwomen" would be those species of fish who deploy sex mimicry so males mating with them would waste their sperm and breeding chances, leaving the impersonators free to go after the actual females.
That's you. You're mimicking the female sex but it doesn't make you female.

I don't even know what to say to these comments, but I find it imperative to note that I love hyenas. They look so sweet and cute to me, while at the same time being ruthlessly badass and tough. 🥰🥰

I learned hyenas were bad from the Lion King. :(
It's only the spotted hyena that has peniform clitorises. The other three species don't have this. The spotted hyena is extremely aggressive compared to its relatives and more likely to engage in infanticide and other intraspecific killings. Also unlike its relatives, jt does more hunting than scavenging. Occasionally spotted hynenas will hunt and eat humans, primarily women and children. One group killed dozens of edit: 34 people in Malawi in a single year (I'd have to look it up but it would have been in the early 2000s edit: it was 2004). They're also known to be a carrier species for rabies and canine distemper, a risk for disease spread because they like to hang around human settlements and rubbish sites.
Between their reputation for aggression and their laughter-like vocalizations, it only makes sense Disney picked the spotted hyena to play the villainous sidekicks in the Lion King. Can't say I like how the movie demonizes them, but otoh i can't say I understand why anyone would find them sweet or cute, either. Their brand of matriarchy is very...male. Lots of aggression and competition. Not much altruism. One hypothesis for the females evolving pseudopenises is as a protection against other aggressive females, as evidenced by the fact they have this anatomy even in the absence of androgen exposure.

I had a blessedly Disney-free childhood, and I'm glad I can enjoy the cuteness of hyenas as an adult :')
I wish I believed in karma so these creeps would reincarnate as male anglerfish for commiting crimes against Mother Nature

The “anglerfish passoid” comment hurt me, because my coffee came out my nose.
