The general topic I'm most interested in writing about is trans men's experience, particularly when it differs from trans women's, and the specific area this thread will dig into is how coercive femininity is used to suppress trans men's aggressive instincts.
I think this is all really accurate, but also it's how cis girls are socialised out of aggression too. I think transmasc people resist a bit more so it's worse? But it's definitely how society teaches cis girls what they're supposed to be doing, and it's destructive there too.
My experience is a bit weird, because most of my socialisation was ineffective and kind of poorly done. But I vividly remember my mum's horror and embarrassment about the time I bit another child at nursery.
I have similar memories of the father of a boy I made cry rough-housing (not on purpose and he wasn’t hurt) yelling at me for several minutes and ending with him telling his son to punch me in the face of something similar happened in the future. It seemed disproportionate.
I know that this was the case with me. Dysphoria hit like a freight train after natal puberty, and I got no end of shit for being "too" angry.
Female socialisation is bad for all of us.Girls get told off and an explanation which we absorb over time,boys get told off and an indulgent 'boys will be boys'.
Parts of it are. Being encouraged to have empathy and be kind and think of others and not hurt people is great- but you can have too much of a good thing. And, on the other hand, male socialization sounds really brutal. But there are some aspects that are a bit easier/more fun.
