Ask me about my pirate addiction

Misogyny & the patriarchy have a negative impact on men & masculine folk as they (under their logic) 'legitimise' or 'justify' violence towards men who aren't performing masculinity correctly, but we don't call that androphobia because 1) that's some MRA shit. 2) it misdiagnoses the problem by making women the focus instead of making the patriarchy the focus.

Violence directed towards men (and people perceived as men) stems from a system of power ultimately privileges men who perform masculinity "correctly" and coerces/denigrates those performing it 'incorrectly' - whatever that means at the time. Now that we have that understanding, lets think about how it applies to transmisogyny.

If misogyny can have a negative impact on men, transmisogyny and white cisheteropatriarchy can absolutely have a negative impact on transmasc folk. That doesn't make transandrophobia real, that just means you're also being harmed by transmisogyny!

Enhanced rates of sexual violence towards transmasculine people is a form of transmisogynystic violence, as it's violence which reinforces the cisheteropatriarchy by punishing people who transgress not just masculinity but gender itself.

It's the same violence which means that trans women don't really have male privilege before we come out, and trans men don't really have male privilege after (and that nonbinary people never get a turn with the male privilege!).
