i'm constantly coming back to rejecting "androphobia" (or, god forbid, "misandry") in favor of discussing "trans-emasculation" — which among its many other useful functions, puts anti-transmasculinity in conversation with other oppressed groups of men who also face emasculation
We need to understand that transmasculine people's experiences of misogyny do not invalidate their genders, but that misogyny itself arises from regendering impulses whose entire point *is* to invalidate their genders! The invalidation is inextricable from the misogyny, inseparably alloyed!

adding the word androphobia to my vocabulary was pretty helpful

(whispering under breath)im not sure emasculation is a more sympathetic term than androphobia

PS transandrophobia is not trans-androphobia, it is transandro-phobia

[voice of girl with lifelong embarrassing androphobia only just recently getting over it] for some reason im only attracted to other guys if they are servants of palutena not sure why

my annoying online discourse take is that leftist men using "androphobia" to mean misandry is silly because androphobia has its set meaning as (often trauma based) fear of men that is not rooted in ""misandry"". in the same way gynophobia exists but isnt the same as misogyny and hatred of women

It is true that among the trans women writing at the time who would later develop audience for their transfeminism, I am probably the one most overtly sympathetic to men.

And my—real, explicit, merited—androphobia has always tended to be relatively more quiet as an influence in my work.

Broke: transandrophobia isn't real because it implies there's an intersection of transphobia and androphobia

Woke: TME isn't real because it implies trans men don't face the intersection of transphobia and misogyny

We can talk about women's rights and issues without androphobia. And we need to, for several reasons, one being that trans folks are majorly impacted by our androphobia. As we see continued waves of legislation attacking the basic rights of trans folks, cutting this out is more important than ever.

I'm getting more and more terrified as a woman living here in this world. Men are the reason why everything has gone to shit. Our Androphobia has gotten worse and worse to the point it's become an Anxiety disorder; now I cry and even scream at the sight of a man.

Why do bad things even exist?

If you like this you may also like that the girl’s opening POV chews on the role of androphobia in basically every part of her life.

Meanwhile, the guy’s opening POV is full of stuff like “it makes me angry when people don’t respect women.”
I love writing this romance dynamic:

Guy’s horny POV: “The flash of her throat as she moved captivated me. It felt like taking advantage to watch her breath shudder—“

Girl’s horny POV: “Oh I am a ride he would not survive.”

Well that and the misogyny. The greatest advancements in the idea of "androphobia" as a structural force are happening on Tumblr

Its on Tumblr, theres this whole movement of people thinking "transandrophobia" is a real thing (its not, because androphobia isnt real, that isnt how intersectionalism works, they are misattributing other stuff to this made-up term) and its really annoying

Why do white trans radfems get to both cause bullshit and hatred for trans men and then turn around and tell people "it's not because they're men so they can't call it trans androphobia"

Abusive

#fe3h claude having androphobia from his past traumas that he's learned to mask really well vs. claude realizing he's attracted to men while trapped between sociopolitical systems where he needs to look absolutely perfect

it's transandro-phobia not trans-androphobia. it's discrimination against transmascs. that's it.

lowkey implying we are rapists and we all only abuse trans women. what the fuckkk

By the way—this emotional effect is sometimes called “androphobia.”

I recognized it first when I was pretty young and my mom related to me stories about being terrified of unfamiliar men—even like plumbers—when she was a kid. It helped me understand those feelings were normal.
I remember watching some videos about a man who was a long-term foster parent alongside his wife. He described how often foster children are afraid of men they don’t know, because of experiences with being molested, abused, or hurt by foster fathers.
