#frankly I don't know if the claim that people blame transmasculinity on trans women comes from any source at all

I wish would talk about how trans men aren't just seen as poor delusional girls, but also scary predatory men as well.
A big part of the rapid onset gender dypshoria is social contagion, as in evil trans boys spreading their icky transmasculinity to all his friends. In this, trans men aren't just the brainwashed, but also brainwashers, similar to lesbophobia, where the little girls are getting seduced into lesbianism by evil predatory dykes
Oh god yes. Tbh I kinda get annoyed when people sum up anti-transmasculinity as just "poor delusional girl" for one because I question how much that phrase really communicates the insidious nature of the misogyny we are being targeted with. But also because it's very much NOT the end all be all of our oppression.
I think a fundamental part of misogyny has always been the way that feminized people (people placed in the role of daughter/sister/wife/mother) can both be a vulnerable resource in need of careful management AND a threat to that resource. The fact that we have minds that can think and do things that do not benefit the patriarchy make us a threat to the bodies that it uses to profit and maintain power. We are the sheep and the wolf.
Anyways read "“The Transgender Craze Seducing Our [Sons]”; or, All the Trans Guys Are Just Dating Each Other" by Cassius Adair and Aren Aizura; it's not exactly about this but it does discuss how transmasculinity is conceptualized as a disease which trans men infect others with through exposure. Also it's a really horny article and it rocks.
