Bigots are gonna bigot. I don't see the use in ceding language to them.

    "male socialized" and "biological male" is bigoted language. You're not ceding something they made to hurt us.

    They used to hurt us. Anyone literate could come up with male socialization independently.

    Biological male I agree with you, it's a deceptive dog whistle. My biology made me Trans, which is to say female.

    I'm taking from this convo that regardless of how I describe my own journey, I should not apply the phrase to anyone else.
