Hot take for the coiner of transandrophobia, but I don't think trans men are female.

I'm not revoking jackshit from a trans man, because he was never female (and therefore is not the intended recipient of female empowerment). This is trans 101. These fucks can't even get that right.

I don't think any man has the right to take revenge, but he will 9/10 times do it anyways. If something literally kills him, then it's not revenge, it's self-defense. Big difference.

I think the men who are abusers statistic is already way too high, and that men actually really need to be empowered to NOT hurt people.

It isn't toxic yuri if he's a man inflicting violence on women that's just patriarchy

Complaining that lesbians won't fuck him and that trans women "try to reject manhood"

or

complaining about being seen as a man and treated as someone who will weaponize male privilege

For reference, here's a full bibliography of bad* [tumblr]* posts which were incorporated into the above comment:

Rhetorical dogwhistles are things that most people would not be able to identify as bigoted because they're INTENDED to have plausible deniability.

The wording changes are meant to be subtle enough that people really can mix them up accidentally when they don't have much information!

So when the gender critical movement calls trans women "transwomen", they're hoping for 2 things.

this usage will spread enough among people who don't know any better, to give transphobes the plausible deniability of not LOOKING like a frothing bigot constantly.

the usage grammatically places trans women in a different category than other women; it's changing "trans" from an adjective to part of a noun to make this distinction.

The more we can avoid this usage, the less deniability have transmisogynists have when using it, and the less we are helping their cause.

A male human and a female human are roughly the same size and same coloration.

Meanwhile, male black widow spiders are brown and a tenth the size of females. Anglerfish females are a full foot long and have a bioluminescent protrusion on their heads; males are barely half an inch long with no bioluminescence or protrusions. Male elephant seals are ten times bigger than females and have massive snouts. Male orangutans have big jowls and neck sacs that look like goiters, while females look more like other apes. Peacocks have flashy coloration and a long tail that they can display. The females are brown and simple.

Lowland Gorilla males tend to be 2.38x on average the mass of Lowland Gorilla females. Humans? That ratio is something line 1.15.

Male gorilla canines tend to be about 2 inches long, easily twice the length of some of their other teeth. Male humans have canines the exact same length as human female canines and the exact same length as the rest of our teeth.
