I do think it's wild with this recent wave of transphobia in the US government that there'll be people on here who genuinely still believe that transfems are the only people who are targeted and transmascs are just incidental.
Like, in congress (I think that's what y'all call it?) a picture of a person who had gotten double mastectomy top surgery was used to push this legislation. Being transgender was called a "mind virus" which directly ties into that bullshit ROGD study and "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters". They're sending letters to companies that specifically sell chest binders to tell them they can no longer sell them (without medical approval). These are all very explicitly transmasculine targeted attacks.
Obviously I have to say that this doesn't mean I think transfems aren't targeted or aren't affected by this or even targeted less.
I'm saying it's very fucking obvious that they are going after all trans people and using whatever narratives suits them best to enforce this transphobia to erase all of us from existence.
The reason they use transmasc surgery is because it's easier to fearmonger to conservative misogynists about poor confused women mutilating themselves so they can't have children. They'll use this rhetoric to ban gender affirming care for ALL TRANS PEOPLE.
They'll fearmonger about transfems in bathrooms because it's easier to present the "deviant male wanting to assault people" narrative to those same misogynistic conservatives. And they will use this rhetoric to ban ALL TRANS PEOPLE from bathrooms.
This is what we mean when we say that transandrophobia & transmisogyny work in tandem with each other. They aren't incidental or opposite to each other, they are equal parts of the same force, on purpose.
