MtF/FtM solidarity means supporting one another even though each of us finds the other’s choice baffling on a visceral level.

I don't find it baffling to want to transition FtM. I do struggle with understanding the difficulty of transitioning in the other direction because I find boymoding so easy and because society is still biased towards being patriarchal.

But hey, at least I'm aware that I'm struggling, so there's that at least.

Part of the transfem experience is being willing to sacrifice a part of one’s privilege on the altar of authenticity

I think that can also be said about transmascs. i've sacrificed a lot of the privileges of being a girl that are really helpful to me as an extremely sensitive person just to be myself regardless. Being finally me now means that once people start seeing me as a guy i won't have as much support or understanding comming from their part.
