Transradfems accuse transandrophobia believers of also believing in concepts like AMAB supremacy, and radfems try to recruit them on that basis, but one of the things I've always found so relatable about the transandrophobia crowd is that I feel they tend to have a very keen understanding of how and why AMAB trans people are treated so badly. I've seen, on occasion, transandrophobia discussion that gets across what trans women go through much better than transmisogyny discussion that supposes transphobes see us as women in their heart of hearts and all transphobia flows from that unconscious correct gendering, which I just find completely ridiculous.
But it doesn't feel gender validating to accept that people hate you because they perceive you as a man so it's better to clasp your hands over your ears and insist no one hates any men for any reason in any context and masculinity is only ever rewarded, never mind how this attitude affects butch trans women even in trans spaces.
This is a really good addition!
