"forced to act like a boy" = "I was too much of a coward to be weird in public", (if there is even a tiny grain of truth to this shit). Every tough girl and sissy boy I knew growing up got a heap of shit for their atypical behavior, but they kept at it for whatever reason. They were all still socialized as members of their biological sex because socializing is done to children by the adults around them, kids have zero say in it. Only a deeply delusional person would deny that & also demand that everyone else denies it, too.
I went on that dude’s Twitter and he’s definitely an incel. Recessed chin, large nose, posts about his Tinder failures with women
Funny thing is about those 9.8k likes - if trannies were really women, wouldn’t they suffer from misogyny just as much? Pretty much admitting they’re an “other”. Almost self aware, almost.
Not sure if this would be the appropriate thread to post this, but i found this guy on accident a while back.Majority of his videos are just chipmunked versions of popular songs with some tranny imagery slapped on it, but theres a few videos of him sperging.
I wanna say just how stupid their logic is. People out here saying they don't need GD to be trans and that gender is a social construct, then get offended when people say age is a social construct too. You can't say anything about trannies without dumb motherfuckers dog-piling you. It gets scary when it becomes more accepted about the whole 'gender=/=sex' thing, if anti-vaxxers or religious people can be criticized for not believing science then we should be able to criticize these people too. If there's no science behind it, then it is a belief. It all started with mental illness, you know how sad that is? Imagine having your struggles be glamorized because some freaks want attention. Those people being killed for suffering from an illness others wanna make light of, it's really sad.
A shame Twitter is becoming Tumblr 2.0, PC culture kills free speech.

Is there such a thing as an Asperger's accent? Because if so, she has it.
Seriously though, why would Asperger's give you an accent? Studies have shown characteristic speech patterns in people with ASD (e.g., overly formal vocabulary), but I'm not finding any explanations of accent.
why is the dude calling the big tranny "karen"
also where is the joke or punchline
someone please explain this comic to me, i think i'm not big brained enough to understand it
It's another case of a man wanting to become what he was sexually attracted to during his formative years.
There needs to be a name for this phenomenon.
He has some other tweets below it that just further prove he was, in fact, socialized as male:
I'm no expert in cis men but cis men aren't usually traumatized by their own masculinity. I wasn't "socialized as a girl" growing up either. I didn't have a normal adolescence. Many trans people spend years in the dark not knowing why they're different and the pressure to act otherwise is devastating.
The pressure to act according to cultural norms is socialization. This isn't a made up TERF word or opinion, this isn't something you can find loopholes to avoid, it is a reality that happens to everyone, regardless of what word you want to use to describe it. It' like gravity: If I jump off a cliff, I'll fall and hit the ground because of how gravity works. That fact wouldn't magically change just because some religious nut job claims that I fell because Satan himself pulled me down. The reality is, what goes up must come down, regardless of what you want to call it.
The fact that he was expected to act "like a man" despite his desire not to, that is an example of male socialization. A girl wouldn't get made fun of for acting like a girl, because that's what she's expected to do. Boys being made fun of for acting "like a girl" is a way to raise boys that is unique and separate from girls... AKA, male socialization.
If this guy wants to argue that he hates gender norms and he hates how he was raised, that's one thing. But trying to claim that he was not raised and treated like a man because he didn't agree with it, that is just wishful thinking. No one escapes socialization, even if they disliked it or renounce it completely later in life.
His final tweet on the matter:
I never learned how to form friendships. I have a complicated relationship with physical intimacy, even with friends. My body repulsed me in ways I had no words to describe. I felt like an alien among my peers and became a social recluse in middle school. NONE OF THAT IS NORMAL!
That's really sad and all, but none of it is proof that he wasn't raised and treated as a man. It is, once again, further proof that he was. The whole point of gender socialization is to make you behave a certain way, whether that be in the form of positive reinforcement ("He likes football? Atta boy!") or negative ("He likes the color pink? What a faggot!"). The end goal stays the same: enforcing and upholding cultural gender norms.
Failure to comply to said gender norms doesn't mean you are the opposite sex or you somehow escaped gender socialization all together; all it means is that your experience may be an unpleasant one, either because you are shamed for openly going against it, or you live in turmoil if you comply but secretly hate it. He was a gender non-conforming boy, so it's no surprise he felt depressed and alienated among his peers. Does that change the fact that he lived and experienced most of his life as a man? No; His misery stems from his male socialization.
He may try to say that he was still socialized as a girl, he was just socialized as a gender non-conforming girl! (I have seen other troons make that claim before). But that's bullshit. Both genders will experience pushback if they don't comply with gender norms, but how they are treated differs greatly. For example, yes girls may get made fun of if they dress masculine, but boys face much harsher ridicule if they dress feminine.
Also, I'm no SJW, but socialization comes with certain "privileges", even if you don't ask for them or want them. For example, your average woman could go to a local park and talk to a random child without anyone giving her odd stares or asking her what she is doing. Meanwhile, men don't have that "privilege"; they will likely get an odd glance, especially if they are alone. Another example, men don't have to worry about women kicking their ass because men have the biological "privilege" of height and strength.
The point is, socialization is not just about being expected to act a certain way due to cultural norms. It's also about certain advantages and disadvantages that you experience as a result of your sex. These experiences shape how you see the world, respond to it, and how it responds to you. It doesn't matter if "Eva" hated these male advantages growing up. It still happened, and as a result, he will never be able to escape his male experience, be it in the past or in the present.
Also, can I just say how fucking cringy is it when people like this dude say their childhood was "stolen" and they were "forced" to be the opposite gender? I'd love to hear them explain what being "forced" entails.
