"you come with your unique perspective, but from a position of where you're used to being heard" uh. yikes.
this specific line of argument reminds me of studies on self esteem that compared black girls and white girls, and concluded that because black girls were louder they must have had better mental health/self esteem. that's obviously untrue.
brain fried so I'm having a hard time articulating why your statement seems similar, but it comes off as a post-hoc justification for a measurement error. like there's an implicit assumption that trans girlhoods are really just boyhoods (with the attendant "expectation" of being heard). i don't think that's necessarily accurate.

Yeah no, this was absurd. Me changing genders is not going to make me shut up or sit idle and be dismissed because "that's what womanhood is." Male or female I will be heard regardless. If you want to ignore me based on your perception of me that is an issue on you as an individual.
