ive had this sitting in my inbox for a few weeks and i think i know what to say now;

The most direct and obvious answer is to donate money to transfems. All other variables (race, disability, parent's economic status, etc) equal, a tme person is going to have better job prospects and make more money than a transfeminine person. Hit up donation posts. It's not fun but I mean, its easy and its practical and it directly helps.

If there are trans women in your life, just... know them, respect them, be there for them, be open about the fact that you're aware of transmisogyny and trying to unlearn it, and just generally just offer your hand in help when you can.

More in general, interrogate your own biases wrt to trans women. Ask yourself questions like "am i projecting sexuality onto her?" am i projecting malice or deception onto her?" "am i assuming she knows less about gender than someone who was afab?" And- if you're comfortable- ask yourself that of other people, and challenge them when you see them say something transmisogynistic. Be vocal about these double standards- we're not predators, we're not sex objects, we're not liars, we're not men.

When you see people say "be normal about trans women", know that that's not something that's going to come naturally to anyone living in our society- just know that you're going to have to do some manual gear-shifting around the image of transfems in your head.

sometimes a trans woman is going to make you uncomfortable. it might be her sexual interests, it might be how she talks about her body or womanhood, it might be how she looks.

you will take that discomfort and swallow it and move on.

you will recognize that it's probably the transmisogyny you've internalized, even if you don't want to admit. it. fun trick! if you move on and correct for your biases, you don't have to admit anything!

if it is a personal matter (she's talking about you) then settle that personally and establish your own boundaries.
