but also like literally want to emphasize the “including other trans people” part of that last addition. like there is a reason the times i’ve personally written posts about the issues with how tmes speak over transfems regarding transmisogyny in the name of “having our own terms” or the issues with the trans mra movement, i get anons positioning my motives within the realm of trans women’s fuckability by other tme people. & that’s still nothing compared to what transfeminine users on here go through while trying to self advocate .

#again pointing out that i don’t think a term is needed (though will also note serrano who coined the term transmisogyny has herself said a #term to describe the other end of the scale may have some poltical utility)#that being said if you are looking to describe your experience with misogyny as a socially constructed system of oppression without #connotating womanhood the words “bioessentialist” & “cissexist” are right there #+ more apt regarding the fact that it’s not misogyny overlapping with transphobia to create not only experiences based in that compounding #but also a separate from of oppression (transmisogyny) but rather how transphobia interacts with misogyny when tme ppl are structurally #misgendered (not a new system of oppression because that is general transphobia) & thus the reason why the experience of being abused by the #structure of patriarchy in a way that is not because of the manhood (what androphobia &/or misandry implies) but how the general transphobia #of structural misgendering leads to impositions to benefit the ruling class under patriarchy (cis white men)#like if you NEED a word there are ways to explore language there that aren’t inherently transmisogynistic #& as a tme person i find the assertion to the contrary deeply insidious #transmisogyny
