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.

    Where do they call you a transphobe? They removed your comment for misandry. Admittedly, your point is a little difficult to understand.

    It looks like you said misandry doesn’t exist, and by extension trans men can’t face misandry because it doesn’t exist.

    Misandry, as a term, has a fucked up past and is too often used against feminists, but evidence indicates prejudice against men in select situations and careers. It’s no where near the scale of institutionalized misogyny, but to deny men can be descriminated against on the basis of sex at all is incorrect.

    Examples of systemic misandry include longer prison sentences for the same crimes, or the lack of recognition for male rape victims, including laws that state only men can be rapists.

    I can see why denying misandry would be taken down.

      Here (Accuser since deleted comment)

      In regards to injustices you think apply exclusively to men , they in fact happen to women (especially trans women) tꝏ ! And do you really think laws see trans women as women ? Doubt !
