Honest question for those who say young kids' behavior is largely the result of socialization: How do you explain the detransitioned butch lesbians who talk about heavy disapproval they faced as tots for their "masculine" behaviors? Who socialized them to be so gender atypical?

My
@UCIEducation colleague, Jacquelynne Eccles, the foremost educational psychologist in the US, has been writing for decades about girls' and young women's career pursuits stemming from their positive people-oriented choices rather than deficits, e.g.,https://www.apa.org/monitor/sep03/clues … -

No one is assigning tastes by sex, are they? Gender-atypical women are still very much WOMEN. Transgenderists are the ones misusing this data. The old saw that you can build something with a hammer or kill someone with it is relevant here.

Because even the division of "people" and "things" jobs is ideological and ad hoc - what makes secretary a "people" job, despite requiring tons of organizing, data entry, etc. but "mathematician," which is 90% working with others in collaboration, a "things" job?
