Plus, it's not permanent! If someone didn't feel pressure to help in the kitchen as a child, for example, that doesn't mean they don't as an adult after transitioning

I think it's less that trans women "weren't socialized as men" as there's no such thing as being socialized as men/women. People are treated how they're treated and they react in an individual way, and it changes throughout their lives

Popping in to say this is a good ex. of there not being any universal trans experience (or any experience, really). To the eggs: if you were told you were a boy and did a good job being a boy and didn't have any examples like these because you didn't know to question it, you can still be trans!

This is also true for gender affirming care

It's wild to think that I could get rich as a right wing grifter whenever I want by being like "I'm trans and I give you permission to hate trans people" (and all it would cost me is my soul)

It can both be true that she's bad at her job and that having an affair with that guy didn't prejudice the defendants in that case!

This seems like a model similar to Folx and Plume, is it not? Seems desperately needed in the UK

I was staggered when I learned that. It opened right at the tail end of people saying "getting crunk" and I thought it was some cringe play on that. But no! Lol

Flying in my pajamas is literally one of the only good developments of the last 10 years
