mens-rights-activia:gothictransgirl:mens-rights-activia:I wrote this under my video but I got similar responses to this meme as well, anywayI feel like I should clarify something here because some people in the comments are a bit confused/feeling personally attacked and missing the point, this video is directed at a very specific type of girl, a pickme as some call it, who builds their identity on shaming other girls and traditionally feminine things in order to feel superior via proximity to masculinity and rejection of femininity and is usually done for the appeal of the male gaze. Most people who were socialized as a girl know exactly what I’m talking about, but if you don’t that’s fine but this isn’t about “tomboys” or making fun of people who don’t like makeup or gnc people.Hey, so I get what you’re saying completely and I know exactly the type of girl you’re talking about. I wanna make sure I understand what you mean when you say “people who were socialized as a girl” though cause I’ve heard that phrase used to dismiss trans-women as being women or as being able to understand the experience of womanhood before and I don’t want to jump to any conclusions there.I used that phrasing because some nb people and trans men talk about their experiences being “socialized as a girl,” experiencing certain specific phenomena, pressures, and expectation of behavior. I didn’t say that to say that trans women are not socialized as girls and therefore can’t relate to this, but to include people who are not girls that have definitely subjected to this socialization and can relate to this because of said socialization. Also, correct me if I’m wrong but, trans women who came out in their youth are definitely socialized as girls so I don’t think it’s necessarily exclusive of trans women to say socialized as a girl, more that it’s inclusive of people who experienced that but are not girls but again please correct me if I’m wrong -- source link
