Dealing with guilt about maleness

I'm talking about one issue that I think was a HUGE, HUGE hurdle for me, or roadblock for me, in my process of thinking about being trans and gaining access to and acceptance of my male aspects: feeling guilty about identifying with any aspect of maleness, because maleness was for me so associated with violence, rape, and mistreatment of women. Of course there are some men (and women) who do indeed commit violence and rape, but of course not all do; many never would. I've come to gain some deep emotional understanding of how I can be/feel/act male even in strong, intense ways and NOT be anywhere close to violent; maleness can be connected with gentleness and vulnerability too. I always knew this on an intellectual level, but to learn it on a deeper level is a HUGE deal for me and has very radically shifted how I experience and accept myself! Wow!
