Again, it would be a mistake to respond to this saying, "but no one ever taught ME one of those items," or "I was taught that way, but I rejected it!" We're talking about broad societal averages, not what one person in particular experiences.

Ok sure, but this discussion is about how (if at all) it applies specifically to a demographic where these pressures often don't stick, and if it's still a useful concept in this application. No disrespect, but have you gone outside…? Because most of the trans women I know don't act like men, and even before coming to terms with their identities didn't really embody what you've described here, to a point where I don't think that trans women not being "male socialised" according to your given definition are individual outliers, but rather that your model of gendered socialisation just… isn't broadly applicable to trans women…?

What socialization you were subjected to and what you do with it are different things.
