The approach transphobes take towards trans men is far more insidious [than transmisogyny directed at trans women] and is much more difficult to explain and identify. Because transphobes see trans men as women, and because much of the political and online transphobia at the moment is perpetrated by women under the guise of 'feminism', there is a sense that trans men are misguided allies, that we are mistaken, and simply need to be welcomed back into the fold, and into woomanhood itself. This welcoming seems like a kindness. It is not, and needs to be called out for what it is - a form of conversion therapy … As a trans man, I am, and always will be, belittled, disrespected, spoken down to, and patronised by transphobes.
