It really feels like a lot of the confusion and discourse around transmisogyny hinges on the fact that transmisogyny-exempt people tend to think passing works like:
Trans feminine, doesn't pass ==> treated as a man.
Trans feminine, does pass ==> treated as a woman.
When in reality it actually works more like :
Trans feminine, doesn't pass ==> treated like a degenerate sexual predator who preys on girls.
Trans feminine, does pass ==> treated like a degenerate sexual predator who preys on men.
Which is crucially is not a dichotomy which exists in the same way for other trans people.
