ātrans men donāt experience misogyny because theyāre men thus cannot experience womenās oppressionā
I hate to tell you this but even cis men experience misogyny if they step a toe over the line of what our incredibly sexist society sees asĀ āproperā for a man. You really donāt think that a man with interests or expression the world sees asĀ āfemaleā arenāt treated with violence?
āwould you say that of other privileged groups? do you think white people experience racism?ā
I mean sometimes they do yeah. I know a white guy with monolid eyes and zero known Asian ancestors and he absolutely experiences anti-Asian racism on a fairly regular basis because people think heās mixed Asian/white. I know a woman who was told throughout her life that she was Native as an adoptee with no known history or background who experienced incredibly violent amounts of anti-Native racism until she discovered as an adult through DNA test that she is 100% white. I know white people who tan incredibly dark in the summer comparatively that are constantly accused of being mixed race and experiencing racism due to that, usually anti-Mexican racism perpetrated against white people with Greek or Italian ancestors.
Their ability to make it stop by sayingĀ āhey, Iām white actuallyā only goes as far as the person enacting violence on them is willing to believe them. They still have to live with the trauma and physical scars from the altercations. We live in a racist world and thus there will be violent people who force all others to pass a whiteness test and eliminating or harming the rest.
Got an ask that I just block/deleted but it was basicallyĀ āso you think cis people experience transphobia!?!?!?!?ā and uh
If you think cis butches donāt experience both transphobia and misogyny and homophobia for daringĀ to be women who break gender roles while still holding onto their womanhood youāve sorelyĀ misunderstood just how bad butches have it in this world sorry. If you donāt think cis queens experience transphobia and homophobia and misogyny for daring to be men who break gender roles while being loud and proud about it and still holding onto their manhood then youāve sorelyĀ mistaken just how bad they have it in this world as well.
Not to mention all of the cis men who wear dresses and skirts and makeup and nail polish and heelsĀ simply because they like them who experience all of these things. All of the cis straight women who simply just exist but somethingĀ about them doesnāt pass societyāsĀ āwoman enoughā test, leading to them being caught in bathroom bills and sporting rules and being attacked by people who mistake them for being transgender or gay.
Just like how straight people experience homophobia to such a degree that they literally beat their children out of any potential deviance from rigidly upheld gender roles and let politicians make jokes on national TV about how theyād drown their pre-teen kids if they came out as LGBT. Do you really think a straight kid still figuring themselves out hears that and doesnāt internalize that homophobia? Doesnāt rigidly hold themselves to some impossible standard so that no one could ever possibly think theyāre gay? You donāt think straight teenage boys who maybe donāt pass some bullyās straightness test are getting the shit kicked out of them forĀ ābeing gayā when, surprise, they arenāt? You donāt think all those kids being attacked by their priests and coaches and teachers are being toldĀ āthis wouldnāt have happened if you werenāt gayā when theyāre literally not gay? Do you know how many straight kids had close calls at my school that famously expels all gay kids, because someone made up a believable enough rumor? Do you know how many of them still got their shit kicked in even though administration ultimately decided to let them stay?
All bigotry is violent and all bigotry catches people it doesnātĀ āintendā to and hurts them as well. It doesnāt matter what someoneās label is, or if they even have one. It matters if the person enacting the violence is doing it because their victim didnāt pass whateverĀ āacceptable enoughā test they didnāt know they were being subjected to.
Everyone is at risk. Oppression doesnāt care what your label is. Some people are more visible targets than others, and as a result those people are the more common targets. That doesnāt mean no one else experiences it.
