1. La Transfobia como una Forma de Misoginia.
El argumento central recurrente es que la transfobia no es un prejuicio aislado, sino una extensión o una versión disfrazada de la misoginia. Se postula que el odio hacia las mujeres trans surge de las mismas estructuras que oprimen a las mujeres cis, considerando la transición a mujer como una "degradación" desde una perspectiva patriarcal.
- The sad reality is that transphobia is just another form of misogyny, but with many, many extra steps. Especially since most transphobia is towards trans women rather than trans men.
- Transphobia is misogyny. Trans women are women. Transphobia is an attack on women and you cannot protect women's rights if you're not protecting trans rights as well. The two are inseparable.
- Transphobia is just a cloak for misogyny. It's an excuse to police women's appearances and diminish their accomplishments. Nearly all anti-trans rhetoric focus on trans women.
- I keep saying that the majority of transphobia is just plain old misogyny. The people who come for trans women will come for *any* woman who doesn't look, dress, or act a certain way.
2. El Impacto se Extiende a Todas las Mujeres.
Se destaca que las políticas y actitudes transfóbicas no solo dañan a la comunidad trans, sino que también perjudican a las mujeres cis. Al imponer estándares rígidos de feminidad, cualquier mujer que no se ajuste a estos moldes se convierte en un objetivo potencial, demostrando que la transfobia es una herramienta para controlar a todas las mujeres.
- Transphobia harms cis women as much as it does trans women. It's just misogyny in different clothes.
- For what it's worth, transphobia and transvestigation hurts *everyone,* not just trans folks. Cis women who don't match someone's schema of what femininity "should" look like are in danger.
- It is absolutely insane that there are cis women who hate trans people: transphobia is used indirectly to attack cis women. Cis women are posed as weak, vulnerable-ie denigrating us, trying to put us in our place.
- The thing about transphobia is that they actually hate all women, so they don't care when cis women get caught in the crossfire.
3. Raíces en el Patriarcado y el Control de Género.
La transfobia se identifica como un mecanismo para reforzar las jerarquías y roles de género patriarcales. La existencia de personas trans desafía la idea de un binario de género estricto y biológicamente determinado, que es fundamental para mantener el poder masculino y el control sobre los cuerpos y la identidad de las mujeres.
- Transphobia is *primarily* about enforcing patriarchal, sexist gender roles and hierarchies.
- Not surprisingly, transphobia and misogyny go hand-in-hand. Both are used to maintain patriarchal power.
- It’s almost like both misogyny and transphobia and especially transmisogyny serve to uphold patriarchy.
- Transphobia is a reaction to the threat posed to the structure of patriarchy when people blatantly decide that the artificial construct of gender boundaries need to be breached in order to be able to live the life they deserve.
4. El Foco Desproporcionado en las Mujeres Trans.
Un punto clave es que la retórica y la violencia transfóbica se dirigen abrumadoramente hacia las mujeres trans, mientras que los hombres trans son a menudo ignorados o infantilizados. Esto se interpreta como una prueba de que la raíz del problema es la misoginia: se vilipendia a quienes "eligen" ser mujeres y se menosprecia a quienes "abandonan" la feminidad.
- It's revealing that nearly all the transphobia targets transwomen. Where are the bills to ban trans boys and men from sports? where are the cops checking up on who's using the men's room? look closely at a transphobe, find a misogynist.
- Trans women are characterized as sinister and an immediate threat to cis women and trans men are characterized as poor stupid women who didn't know any better. Transphobia absolutely reeks of sexism at every possible level.
- If there were no trans women, only trans men, nobody would even think about their persecution. Transphobia is the ultimate misogyny.
- The real obvious “transphobia is rooted in misogyny” giveaway is, they never talk about trans men, only trans women.
5. Intersección con Otras Formas de Odio.
Finalmente, se argumenta que la transfobia no existe en el vacío, sino que está interconectada con otras formas de intolerancia como la homofobia, el racismo y la supremacía blanca. Estas ideologías se refuerzan mutuamente, utilizando a los grupos marginados como chivos expiatorios para mantener las estructuras de poder existentes.
- Transphobia is the intersection of homophobia & misogyny, with added racism & antisemitism.
- Transphobia is misogyny. Transphobia is patriarchy. Transphobia is white supremacy. If you support those it says a lot about you.
- All transphobia, every damn iota of it, is based in misogyny and especially misogynoir.
- I said it before and i'll say it again, transphobia is just homophobia in a trenchcoat that's really just misogyny in another trenchcoat it's about patriarchy, and it's about power.
