but being trans did not make me immune to the harmful behaviours and ideas that are taught to those children perceived as boys.

Absolutely not. But you also didn't have the same relationship with your upbringing as cis men and boys did, because you dealt with a lifetime of internalised transphobia that made you doubt who you are.

We all absolutely share some similarities with the socialisation of our cis peers, good and bad, but we did not have the same experience as them, and I think that's an important distinction to make. "Male socialisation" erases those different experiences. But when you don't conflate the two experiences, you can start to talk about the difference, whilst also acknowledging the commonalities.
