A great piece by Julia Serano on ‘male socialization’, and misunderstandings about transmisogyny.

    We get treated like freaks and the transmascs get treated like widdle soft babies that are just ohhh so confused

    Two different expressions of continuing to enforce patriarchy. Men being monsters and women being infantalised.

    This shit is partially why a lot of new trans women also end up actively being happy when they receive gender affirming patriarchal behaviour like cat calls or abuse. It messes up a lot of people.

      It’s fucked up, yeah. I tend to interpret men’s advances as friendliness I end up with men chasing after me just for my body
