Very much. That reminds me of something ErinInTheMorning wrote on twitter once:

Trans femmes were never “socialized male,” and do not have “male privilege.” My socialization was bullying and mass societal abuse of the core of my being. I was socialized “terrified,” and my privilege was to “hide myself until I die.”

That was years ago, and the link (https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1462659618593779718?s=20) doesn't seem to work anymore (thanks, Elon!) but it resonated with me pretty hard at the time so I saved it.

I have that exact same tweet saved in my clip file too! Definitely resonated.
