Your relationship with that socialisation was very different to mine. We both experienced similar pressures and expectations, and we both received similar privileges based on the way people perceived us, but our lived experience of that was very different.

An analogy is a closeted gay man that has to marry a woman and have kids due to social pressure. He receives many of the privileges of being straight, but it comes at the cost of himself. Calling that straight privilege erases that cost to him, and the price he had to pay by faking a role that wasn't his.

Nuance is important, and some privileges are real. But being forced to be perceived as someone that you aren't is not a privilege, and that shouldn't be ignored.

I'll also add, I internalized the messages for girls while being punished for failing to meet the standards for boys. It's why I say I was socialized transfeminine.

And my socialization post transition has involved its own unique brutality
