hi just a reminder that it *is* essentializing to imply that trans men cannot perpetuate misogyny (e.g. when referring to a group)
-
Yes, agreed! I'm talking about casual instances of when we talk about misogynistic behaviors/habits/etc that don't intersect w/transness
There is enough writing by transgender men, especial transMOC, to address these complexities in a way that better frames the issues.

I'm not unfamiliar w/ trans scholarship, but I do think there's something to critique in the way we *generalize* misogyny as only cis men's
-
and ofc trans men may/will perpetuate misogyny in ways that can differ from cis men's, owing to much complexity, but when we discuss...
-
patriarchy as an institution, & esp. in lgbtq spaces, assigning patriarchy to only cis men is disingenuous & potentially transphobic and
-
often undermines the way esp white trans men can weaponize these view points (something that many in my lgbtq spaces have witnessed)
-
I will say that my original tweets didn't clarify context, though
