if tbros stopped making these shitty redefinitions of transmisogyny like yesterday, it’d be too soon. missing the forest for the trees just to try and legitimize some antifeminism while othering trans women. transmisogyny doesn’t just ‘intersect’ misogyny and transphobia, it’s made there; trans women are not targeted for our masculinity (real or imagined), they are targeted for being women you are allowed to hit because of their transness, because you can say they aren’t women. transmisogyny is misogyny. you are failing to actually use intersectionality while stealing its language.

and we experience this misogyny in the same ways as other women! a trans woman being told to be quiet in feminism because of her ““male socialization”” is experiencing misogyny in the same way a cis woman feminist might be told she’s a man hater; the root issue (“I don’t like women who stand up for themselves against gender and think they shouldn’t”) is the same regardless of how misogynists manifest it. obfuscating this fact so that you can avoid reckoning with your own transmisogyny, and to argue better for the existence of situational but somehow systemic misandry in our patriarchal society while mansplaining misogyny is, to be blunt, deeply pathetic. drawing lines and dividing people for no reason while describing stock transphobia. what trans woman hasn’t had her femininity weaponized against her? are you so deeply trapped in bioessentialist thought that you literally can’t imagine analysis that evolves past outdated ideas of sex based oppression being everything? you are not ontologically incapable of violence
