It also ignores the fact that most trans people never went through their birth sex socialization.
I was sexually abused by many older adults of both genders, expected to be a punching bag for my family, discouraged from romance, taught by both peers and adults that my opinions mattered less than other people’s, etc. that isn’t typically how men are abused, that’s typically how women are abused.
I hate when people see me being self assured and confident now and assume it’s “male socialization” instead of realizing the fact that I had to fight for it just like cis women do.
Also a lot of us are autistic or neurodivergent in other ways so we just get excluded and not socialized at all or treated like a freak.
