The downvotes are wild. Children are socialized differently based on the gender they were assigned at birth - that’s a fact. Growing up being called “bossy” does hell on one’s ability to speak out for one’s self. That shit turned me into a doormat in my teens, and enabled people to take advantage of me both in my personal life and professional life well through my 20s. Society worked hard to try to make me small and quiet, to put up with crap instead of speaking out when things were wrong. It’s a mess that I’m still in the process of untangling, and I have little doubt many AFAB have gone through the same thing. Though with all that said, I’d like to hear directly from transmen about their experiences in this regard.
