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.
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.

Presuned girls are often taught to be kind and nurturing even when it's harmful for them. And presumed boys get taught anger is the only acceptable emotion.
