    TBH I think misogyny is much more deeply rooted in society than transphobia.

    And here’s the controversial take that’ll bring me a lot of hate: the root of transness itself is somewhere between misogyny and misandry. Our generation can’t defeat that, but we can target transphobia and hope that our children will come for misogyny and misandry 💪💪💪

      That is the worst possible way you could say that. Even if you think people embracing gender norms for euphoria unintentionally reinforces harmful divisions, that isn’t something inherent to transness itself. We can have gender without mistreating people for it; it’s just an ongoing struggle to minimize mistreating people.

      What makes you feel that way? How does it jibe with people who reject both male and female identities, or who embrace both?
