It feels like Anon has things the wrong way round. Anon is suggesting that transandrophobia can not exist, the term should not be used, because they recognize that androphobia does not exist. Because to them it's trans-androphobia, i.e. a subset of androphobia. And if androphobia does not exist, then neither can transandrophobia.

When really, it's the other way round. Transandro-phobia. Transandrophobia isn't a subsection of androphobia, it's a subsection of transphobia. The specific instance of it that is limited to trans men, and is not experienced by trans women.

Attempts to forge a new word aren't really going to stick in a meaningful way I feel because we already have a perfectly usable word for that shade of transphobia. Which is transandrophobia.

And yeah, trying to bully this appropriate term into nonexistence is reductive and silencing. It takes away the ability of trans men to talk about their unique struggles. It takes away the tools needed to describe their own shade of discrimination that they NEED to be allowed to talk about and accuse and accurately identify.

transandrophobia isnt real the way transmisogyny is real because thats not how intersectionality works. transmisogyny is specifically the intersection of oppression transfemmes face of transphobia and misogyny. for transandrophobia to be real, androphobia itself would have to be real. men are not an oppressed class. there is no systemic disenfranchisement men face for being men when living in a patriarchal society. transmascs absolutely face transphobia, and there are certain aspects of transphobia that may be different between transmascs and transfemmes, but that is not transandrophobia.

This is a fantastic explanation for why the term faces skepticism and I appreciate it because it's finally made the argument against it click for me

The remaining issue is, I don't have a different word to use when I specifically reference "transphobia that is distinctly directed towards trans men in ways that combine transphobia bioessentialism and mysoginy, that is similar to but also slightly different from that which is directed towards trans women" that still acknowleges that trans men are not women

IE, "You're not a man, you just hate facing oppression as a woman", "You're not trans, you just have internalized mysoginy", "You don't have to be a man to accomplish your goals, You're just pretending to be one so you don't have to face female gender discrimination", "Transitioning to male means you're eager to oppress women", "Now that you're a man you don't have to deal with mysoginy or gender-based violence", etc

I think the men's rights movement is bullshit, don't get me wrong, but walking around being an openly trans man, emphasis on trans man and not just man, seems to read to a lot of people as "female gender-traitor pervert", and I don't have the VOCABULARY for that experience

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

thinking about that german tik tok I saw that was like "maybe ai can do my job, but can ai replicate my Arbeitszeitbetrug? No that's real craftsmanship"

And like yes I can subcribe to that sentiment

Also of course german has a word for that.
