I pretty regularly have TERFs seek me out to mock me, almost always in gendered terms (usually calling me a girl as if that's an insult).

Are they actually rad fems, or are they just caricatures ? I doubt they have the cred or info to be true to the feminist fight.

You refer to yourself as trans man? I think that makes it pretty clear that you have not had a patriarchal upbringing as a boy.

That's an interesting and complicated question. On one hand, what you say is absolutely true...

My parents, teachers, friends, even strangers all saw me as a girl. Their behavior was shaped by that, and mine was shaped by theirs.

I transitioned pretty late in life, and it makes sense that this outside socialization was important in shaping who I am. However...

...when it comes to how I related to things like movies, books, tv, role models, things get a bit more complicated.

I didn't model myself on women. I didn't... relate... to women in certain senses. I formed assumptions about how I would be treated...
