What is transmisogyny?
A unique form of discrimination and oppression that originates at the intersection of transphobia and misogyny. Transmisogyny mainly affects trans women and transfeminine people. The term was coined by transgender activist and writer Julia Serano in her 2007 book Whipping Girl.
"As an intersectional feminist, I think transmisogyny is a very important issue that needs to be addressed within feminist activism."

Transmisogyny - what is it?
that thing where people get weird about men being in dresses. so named because of how it affects trans women.
not quite transphobia. not quite misogyny. not really “the intersection of transphobia and transmisogyny” despite what Julia Serano says. but definitely the reason behind why none of your dyke friends from highschool want to let their kids talk to you now that you’re on hormones.
all the specific ways that it manifests in the world gets... really complicated. but one of those ways is why its so damn hard for a definition of this word to get through the urban dictionary review process 😂
they fired me for being “hard to work with” but we all know that it was just because they won’t own up to their basic-ass transmisogyny
