honestly despise that TMEs can get away with so much misogyny, especially against trans women, and will try so hard to squirm out of acknowledging it if you call them on it, but if a trans woman does so much as call a transandrobro "whiny" it's evidence of her deeply misogynistic, ~male socialized~ past
like bro maybe there is some misogyny behind calling a transandrobro "whiny" but you can actually just stop there at naming the behavior! but no, they can't simply name a behavior, because otherwise their own misogyny could be called into question too. the behavior has to be linked to some inherent Essence of Maleness in the trans woman, making it Real misogyny, unlike the trans man's misogyny, which actually isn't really even misogyny at all and you shouldn't call him on it
get serious. we all live in a misogynistic society and we all internalize it. if you can identify misogyny in a cis woman without seeing it as an indicator that she's Really A Man, you can do that with trans women too
