transphobes will use literally anything as dog whistles and slurs so we may as well keep using terms which allow us to describe, analyze and study our social relations and functioning
many transfemmes have good jobs because they graduated and got employed passing as male, so how should the feminist community point out that the wage gap applies differently to some woman?
also a lot of us carry trauma given to us by exactly that male socialization: competing, performing and taking space as social mechanisms get ingrained over years, so feminist spaces may use “male socialization” to point to our struggles and behaviors with an appropriate term, refusing such critics under the guise of “transphobia” surely does us no good
also it’s not like you learned to lurk boy spaces and you can never change that, we can be male socialized and yet fully social women
There may be a handful of trans women who’ve gotten good jobs pre-transitipn but they are less likely to keep them during transition. Also trans women make less then cis women on average. To say trans women have an advantage over cis women is just transmisogyny

Yeah its not like the phrase is meaningless. Pretending our childhood and socialization is indentical to cis women is nonsense.
Its not identical to cis men either though. Let alone individual nuance.
