transmisogyny 

that thing where people get weird about men being in dresses. so named because of how it affects trans women.

not quite transphobia. not quite misogyny. not really “the intersection of transphobia and transmisogyny” despite what Julia Serano says. but definitely the reason behind why none of your dyke friends from highschool want to let their kids talk to you now that you’re on hormones.

all the specific ways that it manifests in the world gets... really complicated. but one of those ways is why its so damn hard for a definition of this word to get through the urban dictionary review process 😂
they fired me for being “hard to work with” but we all know that it was just because they won’t own up to their basic-ass transmisogyny

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.
