Been awhile since I've seen an unironic "welcome to womanhood" in the wild. Also your kicker reminding me that I'll never be able to bear children and is also the basis of my oppression is not the clever line you think it is.
As someone who came out to an extremely unsupportive wife and someone who is happily divorced, I'm not sure what you expect the compromise to be? I had a ton of empathy for my wife, to the point where I was her emotional support friend while she looked for a new partner, but she would have been a widow had I not transitioned. I'm not sure what you expect us to do here.
Is that toxic masculinity? I don't think so.
Also you take this patronizing tone in speaking to late transitioning trans women about womanhood, warning us that it's no joyride, yet every year we commemorate our sisters who are murdered by cis people every year. We are constantly reminded how much women, and trans women specifically are hated by society.
I'm glad you got a lot of likes or whatever, but I kindly suggest you read more trans writers when you have spare time if you wish to contribute more in this space.
