Well, that’s probably only true for some people and only for a certain period after coming out to yourself.

I’ve sorta experienced it long before I had any sort of egg cracking and it wasn’t even about the other person seeing me as a woman (so not misogyny) - I just felt that having such a experience made me better be able to relate to women and somehow for some reason that sorta compensated.

Agreed that it probably falls off as you either become more self-confident or get more regular external affirmations that aren’t awful.
