Cis people need to stop saying that trans people were “socialized as[X]”. That is not how this works. It’s not how socialization works. Just stop trying to define trans persons by some ridiculous Before and After infomercial narrative.

Our culture is complex and varied and humans are complex and varied. Categorically degendering people to account for, explain away, or accuse of having some trait from their “Other” self or past is dehumanizing and fucked up.

Stop doing it.
