View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Or he's just happy as a man because it feels right regardless of external factors.
Gender abolitionists stop being as bad as the patriarchy with forcing their gender identity on people challenge: literally impossible. Congrats, you're Patriarchy 2.0! You have just told two people you know them better than they know themselves JUST LIKE the patriarchy tells AFABs they will be happy as mothers and homemakers and see not a shred of irony in it.

This is where the line of making sense is crossed. You're just making an empty claim that it's independent of external factors. That's impossible. If you think your husband would have felt miserable in their body if they weren't raised in a society with gender norms, and didn't associate anything with the mere fact of being AFAB... you're just naive. The "miserable" feeling you're talking about literally COMES from external factors. Have you met any trans person other than your husband? Have you ever talked to any therapist who has accompanied trans people? Gender dysphoria is literally about gender, a social construct. Gender dysphoria is a byproduct of a social construct. It is absolutely the opposite of "regardless of external factors". It IS external factors. If your partner was born in a jungle isolated from any of this bullshit they wouldn't have felt "wrong" a second.
But I can already see you're already too defensive about this to go any further so it's whatever.
