I know a TIM who said (after her transition) that society has more of a problem with her being a woman rather than being trans. i.e. that misogyny is worse than so called transphobia. Men will never understand how bad the patriarchy and misogyny actually is.

She is likely one of the rare types that pass 100% and earned her pronouns. That used to be how it worked. You got called ''ma'am'' and ''she'' when that is what people saw when they looked at you. OR, that you people started to call you when you revealed yourself to be a solid, good friend, and they adapted to make you feel better. Before the mass gaslighting began and we owed this emotional labor to strangers.

She means “homophobia” is worse than transphobia, which is true. Because she’s not experiencing misogyny. Most of society think trans women are gay men, and most trans women are clearly not passing as women. If you don’t pass as female you don’t experience misogyny.
