It made me hate men and anything remotely to do with masculinity. I don’t think that’s what “male socialization” does to men.

They didn’t ask if you had male socialization or how you felt about it, though you acknowledged that you did receive it. They asked if you received female socialization. Also- guess what? A lot of females have had adverse reactions to our socialization, too. trans or not- anyone can have a negative association with/reaction to how they were socialized.

It shaped you. It also wasn’t female socialisation. Hating masculinity doesn’t mean the same thing as having an absence of it.

It didn’t shape me as a man. And I don’t have masculinity. I’ve in fact devoted a substantial portion of my life specifically to not having masculinity. I’m not arguing I’m a woman, though I think I am. I am arguing I’m not a man.

Do you XY chromosome and dick? Congrats you're man. Doesn't matter if you hate it, is your biology

Removed for misgendering. It is okay to misgender a group or a public figure, but not other users. There are suggestions for terms to use in the side bar. Also, male or female are not misgendering.

Do you XY chromosome

Likely but I’ve never had a kereotype test so I can’t be sure.

No

I disagree.

That’s not how socialisation and development works but ok. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Not liking the socialization you've received doesn't make you not a man. I didn't like receiving female socialization, I've even thought I was actually a man at some point, but that doesn't make me "not a woman".
