What Trans Men See that Women Don't

Experiences of trans men can provide a unique window into how gender functions in American society. In the last few months, I've interviewed nearly two dozen trans men and activists about work, relationships and family. Over and over again, men who were raised and socialized as female described all the ways they were treated differently as soon as the world perceived them as male. They gained professional respect, but lost intimacy. They exuded authority, but caused fear.

Just posted this on my FB earlier today - got a lot of good comments from cisfolks, especially ladies!
