Yeah, it’s one thing if you personally connect with your agab or asab, or feel that some kind of gendered “socialization” played a role in your personal transition, but we need to acknowledge these things don’t actually fit many people’s experiences or provide accurate information about them. In other words, if you identify yourself that way, that’s fine, but don’t identify others that way or assume that information actually tells you anything about them

also “socialization” language throws cultural differences (among many other things) out the window when it also plays a major role in how someone understands their own experience. Like i was “socialized” as a woman ig but, by the distinctly american/western lens this language takes, so was my cis dad lmao. It’s just false
