I have a recent post breaking it down from a feminist perspective!
Basically, it’s a term gaing popularity among trans men that describes the intersection of oppositional sexism, traditional sexism, and cultural feminism, mediated by androphobia, or the hatred of “wrong” masculinity. In basic language:
Transphobia: “You can’t change sex/gender, and if you do, it’s inferior or wrong.”
Misogyny: “Women must be forcibly kept in inferior positions to men in order to enable men’s reproductive, patriarchal control.”
Oppositonal sexism: “Men and women are inherently different.”
Traditional sexism: “Women are inferior to men.”
Cultural feminism: “Women are pure and can do no wrong, men are inherently evil or at least suspect.”
Transmisogyny: “Men and women are inherently different, sexgender cannot be changed, and an attempt to become a woman is insane and punishable because women are the inferior class.”
Transandrophobia: “Men and women are inherently different, sexgender cannot be changed, and an attempt to become a man is insane and punishable because women cannot challenge their inherent inferiority, and/or being a woman is a sacred duty/divine right and choosing to be a man degrades that.”
Femmephobia: Hatred and control of femininity in all subjects, but particularly in those not “typically allowed to be feminine”. While cis gay men are not subject to misogyny, they are subject to femmephobia.
Androphobia: Hatred and control of masculinity in those not “typically allowed to be masculine” or otherwise those performing “wrong masculinity”. Butch lesbians are affected by misogyny and androphobia, for example, but usually not femmephobia.
The important thing to remember is that LGBT terminology is a living tapestry with a very, very short history in terms of western academia. Julia Serano coined transmisogyny in the early 2000s and she and many other early LGBT activists are still alive today (and there are many more who should be alive but are not due to the AIDS crisis.) The words “transgender” “transexual” “trans man” and “trans woman” are very new: the gender expansive people at Stonewall didn’t use them, but instead called themselves transvestites, drag queens, and stone butches. I don’t think everyone is obligated to resonate with the term “transandrophobia”. The experiences it describes are very real though, and ultimately the adoption of a term is up to those who utilize it, not those who don’t utilize it.
