Its kind of annoying, as now that I am finally accepting enough of my identity to actually want to connect with the larger trans community, I found this huge communication gap where my language feels like misgendering and transphobia to them, and theirs feels like erasure and reinforcement of the patriarchal stereotypes I have been oppressed by my entire life.



Now, the idea that "gender roles" are internal and driven by psychology is a logical argument, albeit one with only flimsy evidence, but it sounds way too close to oppressive misogyny to me, and also fails to grasp the full complexity of any one individual's mind, for me to ever consider a progressive argument.
