>I downvoted you for being reductive and dismissive of the problem; and for suggesting a "solution" that the article clearly describes as a common and inadequate approach to the problem whose application results in injury requiring surgery.
You should re-read the article. Your interpretation doesn't align with my takeaway from it, and I'm curious why that is.
The article mirrored my advice. Their number one golden rule was padded shorts: "Endura’s Pro SL bib shorts, which use silicone in the pad to prevent "bottoming out," unlike foam."
I suggested investing in a good pair of women's padded cycling underwear without specifying a brand. I've never even heard of the Endura brand.
>For what it's worth, I didn't downvote you for being trans;
I do think you downvoted for me being trans.
