"But that said, I do understand that the experience is different for women. Women face a whole range of expectations and pressures that men don't."
So does everybody. Men face a lot of pressures women don't. I'm tired of the Victimhood Olympics, as I expect many of us are. Be a maverick, and don't conform! Dare to REALLY be yourself, rath…

Dare to REALLY be yourself, rather than a biological gender you aren't and never will be. Better luck *next* incarnation (where they'll probably long to be the gender they were the last time around :) )

Haha, yep, agreed. There’s nothing I find more boring than the oppression olympics. But I think it’s important to understand the ways in which people’s lives and challenges are different.
For example, the fact that teenage girls and teenage boys have very different experiences during puberty goes a long way to explaining why there’s been a ~4000% increase in FtM transitions. If we don’t recognise the former, it’s very difficult to understand the latter.
We can acknowledge that we face different challenges without defining each other by those challenges.
