Internalized Misandry/Egg Cracking?

a major part of why it actually took me a few years to realize i was and be comfortable with being a guy was internalized misandry. i unfortunately got sucked into the whole "ironic but actually completely unironic misandry" thing some super left "feminists" were into. i heard a lot of man-hating rhetoric, grew super attached to my femininity, and became pretty hateful towards other guys and myself. it was awful for my mental and emotional health, but keeping super far away from that rhetoric and socially transitioning as a guy has done wonders for me in the past couple of years. i'm pretty comfortable being masc and love being treated as a guy, but there are bad days where i doubt and think "what if i'm just doing this to escape womanhood." but now i know that's just straight up TERF thinking and know for a fact that while some men can be shit, it's not an automatic thing that a guy is automatically shit just because he's a guy, and i'm happy being a masculine guy in my own healthy way. i still consider myself to be a feminist, but i make sure to steer clear of man-hating bs and stay as far away from TERF "femininism" as i possibly can.
