Accidental banger of a reading list, tho. Current events in America are an incomprehensible mess of irrational behavior if you don't have some baseline knowledge of those subjects.

Not to be an insufferable etymology nerd, but the term transmisogyny was coined before the term misogynoir. Of course, the framework of intersectionality predates both words.

I mean the popular understanding of "intersectionality" is that it's a term that can be used to dismiss struggles that you don't care about, so what is there to abandon?
But no, struggles being interlinked doesn't mean that understanding how they reinforce and build upon each other is useless.

Every time I see people complain about TME/TMA it really amounts to 'I don't understand intersectionality and I'm entitled to ignoring qualifiers in conversation.'

It IS in fact weirdo behavior to not have each others backs in solidarity, or to have community in mind.
Intersectionality seems to just go out the window for some people and it’s an ugly look.

I tho k the weirdness disappears when you look at intersectionality as Crenshaw uses the idea E.g. transmisogyny becomes “the specific discrimination that trans women face.”
This is also true, imo, of similar terms such as misogynoir.

This quote is what intersectionality is about. Everyone's struggles are intertwined. Helping the most marginalized won't hurt you and will usually help you long term.
Yesterday, in a hostile 60 Minutes interview with a Bari Weiss acolyte who once called trans kids a “social contagion,” El-Sayed refused to budge on trans rights.
“A failure to show up and fight for that right is a failure to show up and fight for your own.”

her claim transmisogyny theory is descended from misogynoir is very funny bc most of the popular transfeminists i've seen are very much in the vein of White Feminism rather than actual intersectionality

(One side note: the “she’s a man” accusations about Banda are just as racist as they are transphobic. She’s Zambian and doesn’t have what white westerners have decided to call “feminine” features. So there’s some intersectionality to explore there)
