LGBTQIA+ on Yik Yak | I was not socialized male. I was made fun of for my feminity. Treated as an outcast by male classmates and punished for my femininity by my family. Saying trans women are male socialized is bio essentialism and saying you don’t view them as women.

No bc ur right. Is it wrong to say all trans women are socialized male? Absolutely. But some very much so absorbed the gendered messaging, as a trans person, albeit a trans *guy*, I absorbed female gendered messaging AND male gendered messaging.
