Five reasons WHY trans men need increased visibility 1. Transandrophobia is at the core of arguments for gatekeeping (protecting 'girls' from being transed) 2. Testosterone as a controlled substance means trans men face barriers to access and criminal penalties for DIY.

I use 'transandrophobia' to describe the unique combination of misogyny and transphobia that only trans men face. It is different from general transphobia bc its targets are trans men alone (often referred to as 'girls' by the transphobe). 1/2

And, it is different from general misogyny because, while it is based in misogynistic beliefs, it is specifically concerned with transition or some aspect of trans life. Example: Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters" 2/2
