😄 I definitely have worked on my view of men, transitioning has given me a chance to untangle my hatred of men from my hatred & shame from having lived as a man.

But yeah, one person in my life said that the only “sign” she noticed before I transitioned was that my feminism and anger against men felt unusually personal (as if I had been personally victimized by men), which was confusing to her because she thought I was a man.

Nowadays I guess you could say I’m in rehabilitation from my misandry. It’s hard when men continue to victimize so many, but I try to remember it’s a minority of men and that patriarchy is about a whole system of power that includes class, race, etc. and isn’t just about gender. It also helps to recognize the ways patriarchy victimizes men, as well.

My education on feminism has grown significantly as a result of my transition, but I feel like I’m still in the baby steps in a way. Lots of work to do.
