I’ve seen some tbros appropriate transmisogyny to mean, as they use it, transphobia [against trans guys]? So maybe they’re calling you it re: discussing abortion as a women’s issue?But I thought the point…
When cis feminists say abortion is a ‘women’s only issue’ I’d hazard a guess there’s at least a hint of transmisogyny in there a lot of the time because of the whole uterus = women thing.

the critique of “transmisogyny” is as old as the term itself tbh. it’s just the fact that we don’t act like ableist misogyny and racist misogyny and other intersectional experiences are their own oppression, not that those experiences aren’t real.

Yeah, there’s been some discussion about it, how relegating it to its own lil corner isn’t useful because it’s really just another flavor of misogyny (like, would you call racist misogyny against WOC racemisogyny? Better just to say racist misogyny

(Responding to sky-moves-sideways: Julia Serano actually coined the term transmisogyny to talk about the intersection of cissexism and sexism as it applies to trans women. It’s not something that Tumblr SJ folks pulled out of their asses)
