Historically, people had to live as their target gender for a year before they could initiate transition. The length of the duration could be argued, but I think it had some merit. Socially, women behave VERY differently from men (speaking for the perspective of trans women, but the opposite is also true). I think many are genuinely surprised when they experience the lack of male privilege. Many don’t realize that they do, in fact, have privilege until they don’t. I don’t know how one would experience this without being placed in the position of being a trans woman, but I do believe it is an informative peek in the box. I doubt if it is a deterrent, but I do think it helps people to understand some of the subtleties…
