View submission: Trans Women, Male Privilege, and the Intersectionality of Patriarchal Oppression
just a little more detail about the puberty challenge she spoke of- for me and quite a few of my cis friends going through puberty came with a lot of feelings of dysphoria: it wasn't me in the mirror all of a sudden, it wasn't my body that i knew and thought of as how i looked that i saw, it was weird and wrong and I couldn't change it or stop it. I think about half my friend group were excited about their first bra and the other half just cried and wished their body hadn't betrayed them like that.

Oh... That sounds akin to the experiences of trans men. Was this simply due to the changes of puberty, or them not wanting the secondary sex characteristics of women?
