Growing up as a boy and being socialized as a man made me deal with problems that we're handwaved away bcs of what society told me I was, a man. few examples of body insecurity, not being allowed to show feelings, be myself, etc, stuff that you are most likely familiar with.

But after transitioning, I realized even progressive feminists have no idea what growing up as a boy was, and think they know everything about transwomen. Me being asked and told things like "how does it feel to lose your priviledge now?" and stuff always made me feel weird. Yes I have new struggles with different flavour of sexism and other oppression, but it doesn't mean I didn't have that before, it just changed."But your life certainly was easier as a man?" I mean, no? I was very depressed bcs I didn't know I was trans, and yes thats not what "men" go through, I was trans and didn't know it, but I didn't receive help for it what I needed. Just being told to "man up" and gaslit that just being a bit more masculine and manly would make me happy isn't an answer to ones problems.

Feminists at the same time think transwomen aren't the same, but try their best to trick themselves to think we are so they dont feel like bigots (cis and transwomen aren't the same, but this doesn't mean transwomen should be treated differently ofc, people should be concious of peoples pasts, bodies and socializations)

TERFs thinks we're all rapists

Right wing MRAs think we're all creeps

Only people who seem to have similar point of view, is left wing MRAs, and some other transwomen I know.
