Why is it before my unmasking (Transition) when I would stand up for myself or someone else or if I spoke my mind I was considered strong and a leader but now I'm just a bitch? SMH...!

Several of my group members confirmed the rumors about 'Male Privilege'.

Welcome to the world of womanhood where strong leadership is bad and alliance building is good.

Good question, with sexism and mysogyny being my quick answers. This is one of the special gifts of being transgender for me. To have lived "as a man" when I was often expected to "take charge" and now being incapable of even driving a car is really too funny. My friends were quick with the sexist jokes when I first came out but that reveals more of their binary thinking than our truth. One of the guys suggested that i should go hang in the kitchen with the other hens. Cluck cluck. ;)
I am a community activist and am part of meetings where men now try to talk over me or dismiss me as emotional. This is one reason I have not altered my voice much and can still whip out a resonantly vocal claim to the floor.
Playing the great grandma card can be fun too. It can be kind of a reverse bully pulpit and amusing to employ.
I say enjoy the perspectives that few will ever know so deeply as we who have lived it.
