part of the reason transfeminism involves a good chunk of discussion about transmisogyny from trans men and other TME trans people is because transfemininity is an intersectional identity class. we are oppressed not only for being trans, but for being women
the fact we are oppressed by cis people only paints the transphobia part of the picture. the fact that we are also oppressed by other trans people paints in the misogyny part of the picture
considering how it's uncontroversial and obvious to call our oppression by cis people transphobia, we really don't need to spend a lot of time proving that part out. the misogyny part though? people are actively, adamantly against understanding that part
and... yeah. this means discussing the rampant misogyny we face in our own communities
"but trans men face misogyny too!" yes! but, when observing power dynamics between trans men and trans women, it tends to be pretty clear who holds the cards and who is vulnerable. though they face misogyny too, we face misogyny on steroids--the steroids coming in part from the gigantic transmisogynistic propaganda machine we all live in. all the fearmongering rhetoric about "men in women's spaces" targets and stigmatizes trans women specifically
