Something I’ve heard over and over again is that, somehow, trans men having a word to use to mean “the intersection of transphobia and misogyny as they intersect under the lens of transness toward societal masculinity,” or even having that sort of concept harms trans women.
I’ve never heard anyone try to explain how, exactly, except that it takes away attention from transmisogyny—as if trans men must suffer in silence or else we harm our trans sisters, rather than two conversations being able to happen simultaneously about how transness and misogyny intersect for different people depending on societal perceptions of both femininity and masculinity.
