i woke up to say that transandrophobia is a valid word for this situation and i am tired of pretending it’s not

it’s easier to say “transandrophobia” than “the violence trans men suffer is repackaged misogyny, an attempt to detransition us back into baby making machines for the patriarchy that is fueled due to the needs of colonialism and imperialism xoxo”

@noahebalon it's a good word, it retains the meaning without all the history and conotation of "misandry"

@peachymist

anyone complaining just doesn’t want a word for this type of situation to exist, therefore silencing and being compliant to this shit

people often forgotten that reproductive rights also includes trans men, not everyone yeets their uterus, some even wanna get pregnant before yeeting it out. transmasculinity is queer as fuck.

@noahebalon I don't like the linguistic asymmetry of it being called "transmisogyny" but "transandrophobia". I think it should either be "transmisogyny" and "transmisandry", or "transgynophobia" and "transandrophobia".

@noisytoot

sometimes comfort is more important than linguistic asymmetry ngl

# trans women are comfortable with transmisoginy and trans men are comfortable with transandrophobia

@noahebalon I would agree but I'm uncomfortable with linguistic asymmetry (and also asymmetry in other contexts, it is ocd)

(you are free to use whichever words you like of course, I just won't use asymmetric terms)

@noisytoot

antitransmasculinity is also a valid word, but too big to type with my fat thumb so it’s not the only term besides transandrophobia. the whole ‘please create another word’ has been stagnating debates we could have been doing for ages.
