Okay I have barely any followers so it doesn't matter really, but if you're here, and you see this:
Transandrophobia is not real.
You are experiencing transphobia. That's the word. No one* is systemically oppressed for being a man. Intersectionality does not apply to people who are only oppressed under one axis of oppression. If you're a straight, white trans man, the discrimination you face is transphobia. If you're a gay and white trans men, then you face transphobia and homophobia. If you're talking about the way women in your community treat you because you're masc presenting, that's just misogyny negatively affecting you, the same way it does for cis people men who are constantly regarded as dangerous because of the actions of other men.
Transmisandry is not real. If someone is a misandrist, they don't give a fuck if you're trans. Man=enemy regardless, unless they also happen to be a transphobe. Someone thinking you're an asshole and treating you accordingly does not make them a bigot.
If you see something that triggers you, you don't need to respond. Some of y'all should get way friendlier with the block button.
Lastly, I think that some of us, in all places on the gender spectrum, should reflect on the ease with which young people fall victim to reactionary movements and thinking, and pay more attention to the similarities between the brain of a teenager and the brain of someone just starting hormones. This community needs patience and understanding more than anything, and our rights erode more every day that we spend fighting amongst ourselves.
Transandrophobia is a dog whistle designed to divide us. There's nothing this word describes that isn't just transphobia (the irrational fear of gnc people)
Trans misandry is a dog whistle designed to divide us. There is nothing described by this word that isn't already covered by transphobia/misogyny, or by the well documented ways patriarchy has been negatively affecting cis men for centuries.
I am not willing to debate this. I doubt it gets any reach, but I don't care about losing my blog and it needs to be said. I'm tired of watching y'all at each other's throats while the people campaigning for our extinction sit giddy in the background watching us do their work for them.
I know a lot of you just want to live, that you didn't ask for your loves to be politicized or to be wrapped up in this fight, but you are now, and part of that is that you have to be willing and able to work towards a common goal (liberation). Assimilation will not save you. Being part of an in group will not save you. We have to do better. Either we're all free, or no one is.
*there are obviously exceptions in extremely specific cases, men and boys who have no agency over their lives and actions for whatever reason, but in most parts of the world men hold the power position unless they're in a different abuse dynamic (domestic abuser/victim, parent/child, etc).
