People who challenge the second bullet point can't do so without arguing that trans-women (& everyone with a "gender identity") have an immunity against socialisation.

I'm not sure I understand this point: could you expand on your explanation?

Trans-women were socialised according to their sex, not according to their preferred sex, the effects of which cannot be undone.

Basically, no one is immune to socialisation.

And yet we can still think for ourselves.

We are taught all our lives to obey authority. Yet here I am saying authority is bullshit and corrupt as fuck and am perpetually truth-seeking and sharing that corruption shouting truth about power because I can still think for myself.

And because I can still think for myself I can say that I agree with your first point and partially the second point and not the third point and I completely agree with the premise of this post: "trans-women are [still] men & not women". And we must treat each on a case by case basis. Some of those trans-women will be creeps for whatever reasons and must be dealt as such. Some of them have serious mental health issues and should be dealt with compassion. And some of them should be afforded the freedom to quietly peacefully live their lives as they see fit. However this manufactured divisive trans-agenda must be called out and stopped (and from what I've heard most trans don't even like it).

Male privilege is just to refer to the fact that the oppression trans-women experience is not misogyny. Misogyny is a universal experience for women. Social privilege refers to spared injustice. Male privilege is spared gender-based injustice. Exceptions < trends.

There are a lot of trans-women who accept that they are biologically & socialised male & just want to be women socially, without infringing on women's rights in any way. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQjn-f1Z52A

A lot of the activists are aggressive, but a lot of them aren't even trans. It's the ideology that's the problem, but the trans people themselves.

" Misogyny is a universal experience for women. "

Bullshit.

Not all women buy into this political theater.

" A lot of the activists are aggressive, but a lot of them aren't even trans. It's the ideology that's the problem, [not] the trans people themselves. "

Agreed!

You:

Men are oppressed just as much as women are in different ways

Also you:

considers the statement misogyny is a universal experience for women "bullshit"

How quickly misogynists radicalise these days.
