On Transandrophobia

For those who haven't been in the same corner of tumblr as I have, the concept of transandrophobia is that transmascs face a specific type of oppression due to the intersection of being trans and being a man[1]. The concept of transandrophobia has been controversial, as men[2] benefit from patriarchy and are not systematically oppressed by it.

What even is a man?

As transandrophobia is defined as the intersection being trans and being a man, we must first agree on what a man is. Is someone a man

Footnotes

1. While not all transmascs are men, for the sake of conciseness I shall occasionally be refering to transmascs as men/boys.

2. Cis men, at least.
