Saying that trans women were "socialized male" is dumb.
God knows whatever socialization they tried surely didn't work very well. Clearly. Look at us, lol.
But it also misses that a lot of us were internally picking up the social cues meant for girls and incorporating them.

At any rate, in my particular case, I spent most of my adolescence online as a girl and that _was_ my socialization.
And any "socialization" in real life was just me avoiding people and tuning out the grey-shade life that was me "in the real world."

After my transition I found that I slipped very easily into existence as a woman. I was subconsciously collecting all of the tools, social cues, expectations, etc.
Even the problematic ones, which a lot of us, like a lot of cis women, have to deprogram from ourselves.

All in all, I don't find my socialization to be "male" in any way, and the end result is the same - I exist as a woman, experience all of the spectrum of goods and bads and misogyny and affirmation that women receive.
