Today in Labor History December 15, 1973: The American Psychiatric Association voted to remove homosexuality from its official list of psychiatric disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In the 1950s and 1960s, some therapists used aversion therapy to "cure" male homosexuality. Like in Anthony Burgess’s, “A Clockwork Orange,” they would show patients pictures of naked men while giving them electric shocks or drugs to make them puke. In the 1973 vote, 5,854 members voted to remove homosexuality from the DSM, while 3,810 voted to retain it. In a compromise, they agreed to remove homosexuality from the DSM, but replaced it with "sexual orientation disturbance" for people "in conflict with" their sexual orientation. They did not completely remove homosexuality from the DSM until 1987.

Trans women do not have 'male socialisation'. They don't benefit from it. They never had it.

The behaviours people ascribe to a trans woman's 'male socialisation' is usually either her being assertive (women, ESPECIALLY trans women should never be assertive /s), or being vocally angry. This is just transmisogyny and misgendering using feminist buzzwords. It says to the trans woman that if she wants to be accepted as a woman, she must be demure, quiet, and accept the scraps given. That she cannot self advocate.

Stop saying that shit.
