Bathrooms are really not a problem. Don't really know what else ought to be said here. There does not seem to be a particular pattern of trans women assaulting cis women in bathrooms.

That didn't age well.

There were examples of trannies sexually assaulting girls for at least 5 years. They don't give a fuck. They will continue ignoring those and making this claim. Facts truly don't matter to them. That is why they need censorship.

Seems like most of the misogynists I encounter love trannies because they see it as sticking it to women and feminists. Like, feminists nurtured this beast and keep defending it, and it's hilarious watching the TIMs take over women's sports and spaces. This delusion that mtf trannies are victims of misogyny is one of the cutest little fantasies that TIMs have.

More like, as Horrux says, most true misogynists are gay men in denial so they love trannies because those men in dresses make their peepees tingle.

level 2 BladesQueen · 1 yr. ago Trans women who do not pass experience transphobia, but not misogyny.

I think this is correct, but then you seem to move the posts and apply it to all trans women and not only those who don't pass.

No no no no no; You'd be surprised. A non-passing trans woman with boobs will be arrested for not wearing a top, then sent to a male prison. Misogyny effects trans women in a myriad of ways, passing or not (and passing is such a bullshit, binary marker of a very complex spectrum).

Trans women face both misogyny and trans-misogyny; a specific type of misogyny that not only treats trans women (passing or not) as women for negative purposes, but also as men for when that's negative too; not to say that men are oppressed, but the toxic masculinity and stuff that hurts men (from men, to be clear) ? Also hurts trans women. Especially if they don't pass.

If you see how non-passing trans women are treated, they aren't treated with the respect that men are; they're treated as a lesser class of woman.

If you mean to say a trans women who hasn't started presenting female doesn't experience misogyny, that is more in line with something I can agree with; however, misogyny can also be more general than to the person (like "Oh, women can't be fit for leadership" hurts as a statement, even if the person saying it isn't saying it specifically about you.)

non-passing trans woman with boobs

And, I don't think it's coincidence that at the high levels of software development, I know more trans women than cis women. It's not that they're some separate class of people. It's intersectionality. A class which oppresses them also shields them from some aspects of misogyny.

Lotta words to say TIMs are treated like men so they don't experience misogyny

Probably because they still live as men. They just want to be able to pull the "trans" card as an excuse for everything.

Misogynists are just homosexuals in denial. A real man likes real women. Of course the whore mentality prevalent in some Western cultures is a deterrent to liking these degenerates, for any Real Man (tm). Still, that's only disliking degenerates, not disliking women per se.

Misogynists

That word is just a liberal dog whistle, obviously women should be good girls and not be huffy about it.
