Do you think there will be more chivalry

from transmen towards women because we experienced being a woman and thought it was difficult?

Not necessarily, no. I think our lived experiences make us more capable of empathy towards cisgender women, but I think it largely depends on the individual in question.

I believe it will make me more chivalrous, but I'd like to have less women in my life.

"Chivalry" rests on the assumption that women are weak and need to be protected. Many women find this offensive.

Practice courtesy toward everyone, and you can't go wrong.

I feel weak in a woman's body. So I'll just respect women when I have to be involved with them for any reason. For the most part I've avoided them as much as possible and been a loner all my life.

No, not really.

I see all people as the same. I had to get through life on my own; if I could do it as a woman, anyone can. Besides, these days you can just as likely be accused of being a sexist misogynist if you act like women need a man's help.

If by chivalry you mean opening doors for them or stepping in to defend them from someone attacking them, as opposed to what chivalry historically means.

Because I see people as equal I might step in to help a man or a woman depending on the situation. Then again I might not.
