hot take transmascs do face a kind of oppression specific to them but it’s not transandrophobia or whatever ppl are calling it it’s just toxic masculinity and regular misogyny
#idk if i’m phrasing this properly but w/e#uhhh transmisogyny is abt the specific intersection between transphobia and misogyny#what transmascs face is in a way also an intersection but it’s not defined enough to be its own thing#it’s just the standard ‘you’re not man enough’ misogyny. just transphobic this time#that doesn’t make it less important or anything. it’s just how it is :/#i think people are very nervous about being overlooked in the fight for human rights#and we tend to think that if we’re More Oppressed then our needs will be met sooner#and if we Aren’t Oppressed Enough then we will be ignored#but like. nah#it’s like. ok forgive me if this analogy is ham-fisted i have not planned this out#white women have to deal with combatting specific stereotypes and forms of oppression from within white communities#but this is different from the specific intersection of racism and misogyny that woc face#misogynoir is a thing. misogyblanc is not#does that work? is that analogy solid?#like…. there’s ‘white girl’ stereotypes just like how there’s ‘trans guy’ stereotypes#and those stereotypes are often genuinely hurtful and should not be okay#but it’s different from how woc and transfems have to handle intersecting bigotry#obvi there are slight differences here. white women aren’t really hurt by racism but transmascs can be hurt by misogyny#due to not passing or being closeted or what have you#but overall it’s the same concept#before anyone asks. i am tme but not transmasc either#i’m genderfluid so. all over the place
