Detailed explanation of wy trans(misandry|androphobia) dœsn’t exist :
Question: “If transmisogyny exists, does transmisandry?”
Answer: Based on the ways I have seen transmisandry commonly defined, I would say no. Firstly, misandry as a form of systemic oppression does not exist — trans men are not discriminated against for being men, but for being trans. Secondly, transmascs do face a specific type of transphobia, but transphobia is not unique to transmascs, while transmisogyny (which is not transphobia) is unique to transfems. Simply put, transmisogyny is the culturally pervasive attitude (held and perpetuated by anyone who is not a transfem) of regarding trans women as a third class of gendered categorization altogether, because, to quote myself, “[transmisogynists] cannot dignify us as women, but cannot accurately misgender us as men either without calling the stability of male supremacy into question.” (This process is called “third-gendering” or “degendering,” and you can read more about it here.) Therefore, transmisogyny operates on a different level of gendered oppression altogether. Again, transmascs do face a specific type of transphobia unique to them, but they do not experience quite the same form of marginalization which trans women do.
One of the most fundamental schisms in women’s rights activism is between “women’s liberation” and “feminism”. Women’s lib critique targets colonial patriarchy which serves a particular in-group of men and its subordinate women who uphold it, oppressing women and out-group men alike. Feminism is more preoccupied with how all of womens’ problems are attributed to men at every level, including supporting the women who adhere to and support the patriarchy, and attacking the men who are victimized by it.
Redditor “erm reverse racism and sexism is a thing” stuff is not women’s lib though lol. It’s just crocodile tears from those who benefit from systems of oppression.
This is wrong on so many levels you have to be trolling.
The women’s liberation movement was a feminist movement. Feminism is the ideology behind women’s liberation, and has never been about attacking men or women. The people who claim they’re feminists but strive for equality by stepping on someone’s back are not following feminist ideology.
Now, feminism is more focused on intersectionality than it has ever been, working toward equality across age, race, gender, nationality, religion and ability. There has never been a feminist movement that took into account the issues men face under a patriarchy as much as modern day feminism.
Nope of course I’m not trolling this is a serious issue, and I’d be happy to support jt in a longer post tomorrow when I am more alert by quoting bell hooks etc
