Transmysogynoir

Hostility towards black transwomen,

portmanteau of transmysogny (hatred of trans-women) + mysogynoir (hatred of black women).

Transwomen who are black face more discrimination than others,

showing there's plenty of transmysogynoir despite Civil Rights for them being enacted.

Transmisogynoir

Transmisogynoir is similar to transmisogyny, but with an added identity. Transmisogynoir highlights the intersection between transphobia, misogyny, and anti-Blackness. The term was coined by the writer Trudy. It stems from the term "misogynoir."

Transmisogyny towards black people is labeled transmisogynoir, a lethal combination of transphobia, misogyny, and racism.

Transmisogynoir is an attempt at better articulating the particular type of oppression that exists at the intersection between transphobia, misogyny, and anti-Black racism. It is a way of talking about the specific types of harassment, violence, and discrimination experienced by Black trans women and those associated with them. In order to understand, we have to recognize the compounding effect of different oppressions. Black trans women are oppressed in some very specific ways that are not purely transphobia or racism. It’s a combined effect where it is impossible to differentiate what is racism or misogyny or transphobia.
