THIS.
"'Socialization' arguments are bullshit" not as in "actually, there IS no difference between how people raise 'boys' and 'girls' because trans people exist, I am a very solid critical thinker uwu"
But as in "yes, there IS a double standard to how kids are treated based on AGAB, and it IS largely binary, BUT there are so many intersecting confounding factors - including but not limited to race, dis/ability, body type, gender conformity, local culture, individual family politics, sometimes even what gender one's parents WANTED, and, yes, one's own internal sense of gender and when it developed - that trying to make hard and fast rules about what people take away from it is an exercise in futility at best; it is up to any given individual to work out what they, personally, internalized from that experience; there are unfortunately no cheat codes for that"
Also as in "stop trying to pin the blame solely on one gender and/or AGAB - we ALL have shitty gendered biases to unlearn, dipshit, it came free with your birth into a patriarchal society"
