Apologies, they’re not immune to transmisogyny either, in the same way cis women are not immune to misogyny. Parents are often the leading culprits in teaching or allowing misogyny to develop within their children. That’s mothers and fathers.
When I say misogyny I’m referring to all misogyny. Trans women do not exist in a vacuum.
Literally what you just said was transmisogynist, and I understand that many people who may be queer aren't necessarily educated on what the terms mean; and most liberals feel threatened by the potential of not already being morally pure by merit of "being a good person." Transmisogyny is a term that refers to the specificity in how trans women and transfeminine people experience misogyny, it isn't just a word that means "misogyny but for trans people." They don't need to "exist in a vacuum" to require language to articulate their specific experiences, and the term emerged exactly because those experiences are erased by people who would prefer trans women not be too loud or annoying about things.
Trans men do certainly experience, internalize, and reproduce misogyny in their own ways as well, but I'm not talking about them. You are under a thread that is filled with men explicitly advocating for the use of a slur against trans women because of their inability to reconcile their acceptance of that slur with their safe place of rabid sexualization and objectification of trans women in their goon porn. And no, it isn't "just parents" like people can have good or bad parents and be set for life, we are all socialized collectively to subscribe to patriarchy. This means challenging it is a practice we must all participate in, not some badge you get on your scout sash and forget about.
What you just said is a common TERF fascist talking point.
You’re doubling down and inferring people’s genders/identities based on their sexual preferences just to misdirect a trans-phobic dog whistle towards somebody who you disagree with. Yikes. Didn’t mean to get you so fired up. No need to hit the panic button. We’re just talking here.
I'm sorry, but trying to suggest that I'm a Scooby-Doo-esque transphobe under the mask next to an attempt to gaslight someone over their emotional response to bigots targeting their exact marginalized group makes it very difficult to take this seriously. You also put this directly under my comment that predicts liberals responding with hostility should their uncritical morality be challenged.
Do you think trans women are like, not used to that?
