Why feminism sucked...

I've been thinking about feminism lately, and how I've related to feminism in my life. (I just thought I'd get a longer reflection in before school starts tomorrow.)
I think it's fairly typical for tranny guys to become feminists. The story I seem to hear the most is: tranny boy raised (or there are attempts to raise said tranny boy) as a feminine woman/girl person. Guy goes to college. Guy discovers feminism and lesbians together. (Note: this really only applies to t-boys who've come up in lesbian space. Otherwise, I don't know if there's a common back story.) Feminism seems to reflect feelings of frustration at the "girl" box. Lesbianism, if not due to actual attraction to women, affords masculinity. Feminism flourishes in lesbian space. Ta-da! Feminist tranny!
Or something like that.
But it never could have happened to me like that.
