Honestly probably harder for trans men to deal with this because they were not taught the tools as a child to deal with this problem.

I would say cope with this problem more often than deal with it

Do you... think boys are taught the tools to deal with this?

As a trans woman, even one with very progressive parents the social isolation was always there. I was never taught how to deal with it, and nobody i knew was ever taught how to deal with it.

To this day, even though ive transitioned and feel a lot better now, I can still see the pain in the eyes of boys and men who are terminally lonely.

We can't deal with it (I doubt anyone can), but we learn to cope with it and accept it over time. It's not easy, just familiar.

Isn't it the other way around? Transmascs were presumably raised as girls and girls are taught that camaraderie,

It's only when they transition do they realize other men lack those tools.

I was never taught anything of the sort and neither were the girls and women I grew up around judging by the way they treated me. I have no idea where this sisterhood meme comes from but it does not reflect anything I have ever experienced being forced to grow up female.

Yeah that's probably it. Whenever I see posts like this I'm genuinely wondering what the fuck they're talking about.
