It’s weird to think back on how much of being raised as a boy depended on adults being fully aware that your peers could be reasonably expected to use physical violence on you for not pandering to their gender identity insecurities.

Hey. Can you say more on this? I was quite a sensitive and reflective kid and something about this rings true. Like, I really struggled with the physical violence part of being a boy and couldn’t really make sense of it.
So much of my youth is steeped in “socially acceptable” violence.
