Transandrophobia is real. It is documented. It is the discrimination, shaming, harassment, and alienation specifically faced by trans men and transmasculine individuals.

This is not a hierarchy. This is not an attack on trans women. This is a data point.

Trans men face systemic discrimination before, during, and after transition. The visibility paradox means that as they become less visible as queer, they do not become less oppressed—the oppression just changes shape.

Trans men are routinely shamed, told to "reflect on their misogyny," and dismissed simply for being male. This shaming impacts mental health, self-image, and access to care.

Radical feminists and trans feminists who dismiss transandrophobia need to reflect. The problem is not feminism. The problem is specific actors who have decided that transmisogyny is the only axis of trans oppression worth naming. Both things are true.

Trans women face transmisogyny.

Trans men face transandrophobia.

Acknowledging one does not erase the other.

The silencing of transmasculine voices follows documented patterns:

"You're not really oppressed, you're just men now."

"Your trauma doesn't count."

"You're betraying womanhood."

"Be quiet and listen to transfems."

These are not neutral statements. These are silencing mechanisms.

Trans men deserve to be heard and seen—not as a threat, not as traitors, but as people navigating a specific, intersectional form of oppression.

This Pride Month, I am not asking you to celebrate them.

I am asking you to stop erasing them.

Listen. Believe. Reflect.

Then do better.
