I saw a post about JK Rowling and how she's discriminatory towards trans men and nonbinary people too and it actually made a very good example of the problem i have with the "transmisandry is a thing" discourse
So JK Rowling wrote an essay about how trans men and afab nonbinary people, especially! those with autism! are like lost little lambs who are just following a trend and don't know what's best for themselves. How ironic! people decry. The terf is using misogynist arguments regarding the inability for afab people to stand up for themselves and their "inherently female" people-pleasing tendencies to argue against their self determination. Maybe the real misogynist was the terf all along. Etc
Who do you think that JK Rowling is BLAMING for this? Who do you think is the group JKR is implying is DOING the brainwashing?
To act like JKR is "also!" attacking trans men and nonbinary people because she has some kind of special hatred in her heart towards them and NOT because her transmisogyny is so deep that she believes the Evil Trans Women are brainwashing the Poor Innocent Female Children is disingenuous at best and transmisogynist at worst.
