Recently I was on call with some transmasc online friends and one of them asked “what are y’alls opinions of people who say female socialization isn't real” - and it started a long debate. All the responses they gave made me realize they don’t actually know what people mean when they say “male/female socialization isn’t real”. A lot of them responded that they felt that saying female socialization isn’t real erased their trauma with being raised female/as a woman, or that it ignored the things pushed onto kids who are assigned female at birth. 
I’ve seen similar things expressed by trans men/transmascs - especially on tumblr in transmasc/trans man circles. So i’m going to post the explanation I gave to my friends that made them understand. (this is word for word copy pasted from the message I sent, so there is refences to things people said in the group chat btw.) :
I want y’all to know that when people say “male/female socialization isn’t real” they aren’t saying “Transmasc/Trans men’s trauma from being sexualized and having societal rules and expectations pushed on them because of their agab isn’t real” they are saying “There is no universal experience based on sex. The way that trans people and cis people internalize and interpret the societal rules and expectations they are taught based on agab is different and socialization is a life-long thing. As trans people discover their gender, come out, and transition they are still experiencing socialization.”  Like i get y'all have histories with people ignoring the trauma y'all got from the rules, expectations, and ideas forced on you by society bc of your agab, so I sorta understand the jump to hurt and anger when you think that's happening. But y'all need to be listening to other trans people - especially trans women - when they tell you certain ideas are transphobic/transmisogynistic.
Half the stuff y’all listed as examples of 'female socialization' like being sexualized, having your experiences being ignored by men, having your autonomy being taken away, being forced to over perform femininity, and having to be careful about your words or else you’d be labeled as a ‘crazy bitch’ are all things trans women experience too, it's not 'female exclusive'. That stuff is just misogyny. The other stuff y’all listed aren’t ‘universal female experiences’ but very specifically trans experiences. Cis women don’t hear “in the future you’ll be a beautiful woman and be married to a husband” and start thinking something is wrong with them because they don’t want to be a woman, and start fearing their future because they think they will be forced to be a woman - that's a trans thing. Your relationship with your sex and the expectations forced on you because of your sex as a trans person is wildly different then a Cis person’s. Also saying ‘female socialization’ is real is saying ‘male socialization’ is real. The whole idea of 'male socialization' is terf BS abt how trans women being 'raised as male' means they are just as violent, misogynistic, and bigoted as cis men. Which isn’t true, just as the things y’all were taught affected y’all differently than cis women, the stuff trans women were taught growing up also affected them differently than cis men. 'male socialization' Ignores how trans women experiences with gender, misogyny, and transphobia causes them to have different experiences with socialization then cis men. Plus trans women, just like us, also have trauma related to being forcibly raised as their agab and the expectations of their agab being forced onto them. They aren't ignoring our trauma when they say "The idea of male/female socialization is transmisogynistic." - they are saying the lens which y'all interpret your experiences and trauma is a flawed one.
Socialization is life long, y’all have talked about how you have had to change your behavior around cis people when you came out as trans - thats socialization!! “a continuing process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learns the norms, values, behavior, and social skills appropriate to their social position”  <- dictionary.com. Y'all are experiencing socialization that Cis women never get, so y'all's experiences with socialization aren't 'female'.
Y'all's experiences and traumas are real, but they aren't 'female socialization'. It's being a trans person raised in a misogynistic, transphobic, and cisnormative world. Your experiences with being forced to fit into a box based on your agab is something that Cis women don't experience. And if you spent some time around trans women you'd realize they have some similar experiences and trauma.
