From the 1960's lesbian "exposé" titled Chained Girls,made to be a warning against lesbianism.

Filter transandrophobia and transmisandry as tags the way you do for terf stuff I am no longer asking.
Transmisogyny is a term because it describes the overlap of preexisting transphobia and misogyny and explains how both those axis' of oppression overlap when it comes to trans women. Androphobia/misandry are not real because men are not systematically oppressed the way women are and any example you can come up about "misandry" is literally just misogyny negatively effecting men too. I need you people to start using your fucking heads and stop giving this ground to people.
The term transmisogyny was not invented because people wanted a Special, More Severe Oppression to be oppressed by, it was because there is overlap between these systematic forms of oppression that is worth exploring and analysing in our culture. The same way misogynoir is a term. There is a reason misogyblanc is not a fucking term, because white people are not systematically oppressed the way black people are and it would be insane to imply they are to, what, describe the hardships of white women? Transphobia is not a diluted term, it is not a lesser version, you can just. use that. you do not have to invent the fake concept of misandry to discuss your experiences and it is irresponsible to do so, quite frankly. I feel like I'm going insane here.
Transmisogyny is real because transphobia and misogyny are both real, tangible forms of oppression that have systematic repercussions. Misandry/androphobia is not, and any examples of it are, again, literally just examples of misogyny working against men. Men are thought of to be less important parents because women, misogynistically, are thought to have an inherent maternal trait that keeps them from being given the same opportunities in the work place. Men are not allowed to show emotion as much because showing emotion is thought of to be a feminine trait. Men are expected to fulfil certain gender roles because women are, systematically, thought to be inherently less capable and need men to support them under patriarchy. Am I going crazy? Has everyone else lost the fucking plot????
rather than "the intersection of transphobia and misogyny," transmisogyny might really better be understood as the oppression that centrally targets transfeminine people. i think that distinction is useful. in the 90s and 00s, most pieces of media featured a transmisogynist punchline every five minutes. transfemininity as object of ridicule, its figures sub-human. no such analog for the transmasc has appeared in our history. any analysis of transphobia has to contend with the figure of the transfem first and foremost. in the mind of the public, she is central to what it means to be trans at all.
obviously TMA can't mean everyone who is affected in any way by transmisogyny, because that's everyone. we are all schooled and policed regarding gender and presentation in ways that dissuade us from becoming or forming solidarities with transfems. trans men who are perceived to have transfeminine qualities—maybe even be briefly mistaken for being transfeminine themselves—will be subject to corrective violence that is transmisogynist in nature. BUT:
They are more likely to escape immediate and escalated violence if they are apprehended at any point as non-transfeminine
They will have been subjected to transmisogynistic violence because of how the perpetrator feels about transfeminine people—transfems are likely to be even less safe around the same perpetrator. (It's really not that transfems are targeted because they are like faggots; rather, faggots are targeted because they are like transfems)
The imagined violent scene is always a street altercation. So much more violence occurs in private and official spaces: familial and intimate partner abuse and ostracization, medical violence (including gating HRT and feminizing procedures, but also general prejudice enacted by medical professionals), state violence around documentation and punishment. We've seen trans women try to defend themselves against attackers and be charged with assault, painted as evil. The state and its policing apparatus does not treat transfeminine people equally to non transfems. This is going to be true even for really feminine trans men, who do not systematically experience v-coding while imprisoned.
TMA/TME is useful terminology for us to describe our long-term experiences within our communities, in public life, and under the state. No one enjoys street harassment, which can become painful or dangerous, but that's just a fraction of the violence that's being described. Of course transmasculine people, especially the ones whose gender presentation is ambiguous, experience oppression for being trans (and feminine). But they are not the core targets of transmisogyny. It's important that there's language to distinguish who is and who is not the central target of this kind of violence, which sees its targets as disposable, not fully human. To deprive people of the language to describe the severity of violence that targets them specifically is to normalize and minimize that violence.
