@bluntzandgutz Idk but ur not the only one, shits been FUNKY. Friend told me it might be scorpio seasons fault but we just moved into sag season so mayb things should b better soon!!
@bluntzandgutz Being denied the ability to express yourself AT ALL is just the root of the problem w/ growing up queer I think. Its not abt being a girl or a boy at that point its about freedom and agency, which a lot of kids just arent allowed to have ig?
THIS and ignores that being denied femininity is just as traumatizing as being denied masculinity. And conveniently ignores that like…afabs have loads of internalized misogyny to unlearn?? It isn’t exclusive to amab folks?? We all have it???
re: socialization
I think the big bridge to cross with the way a lot of non-transfems talk about gendered socialization is they seem to view "afab socialization" as a series of traumas inflicted upon them and "amab socialization" as a series of behaviours to be unleared.
@bluntzandgutz I think another issue is that ppl conflate fem and masc with inherently genderless traits like innocence, capability, dominance, submission, etc and its like. No youre not ‘just a girl’ whos not capable of harm or ‘just a man’ who is incapable of empathy. Its bullshit
