For example, when a trans woman says "i was not socialized as male, because I experienced socializaton as a trans girl not a cis boy" in response to TERFs weponizing socialization as a transmisoginistic argument, she is describing her real life experiences as a trans women/transfemme.

The problem is if I say that my personal experience as a trans man, is that even though I consider myself a boy for my whole childhood, I was still very much seen as a girl, was treated as a girl and was socialised as a girl, and that very much influenced who I am today. I am not misgendering myself to say this, and I am not saying that other trans people all must view their socialization the same way as me.

When I say my experience, people rush into my comments and dms to tell me I am basically being a TERF and weponising my AGAB to hurt trans women. Like ?????

being a trans woman doesn't mean you're feminist, the same way being a trans man doesn't mean you're misogynistic.
