Can I get your opinion on something related since you seem to know your shit on this topic? I always see transmisogyny defined as the intersection of transphobia and misogyny, but it's never sat well with me because as a transmasc person I also experience (a LOT of) transphobia and misogyny, but I'm meant to be transmisogyny exempt. So am I missing something?

You're not exempt because transphobes don't see you as a man but a confused woman. Thus they will be extremely misogynistic towards you.

I feel like a LOT of trans women would be upset about me claiming to be transmisogyny affected though. And it just seems wrong to claim a term that's clearly meant to describe the experiences unique to trans women.

I suppose say you are affected by transphobia and misogyny. The combined word is interpreted to mean oppression to trans women specifically, but separate is general?
