Didn’t know about that. That’s… Certainly something. Like I knew about stuff she said and believed, but had no clue it ever got to that point.

Anyway, purely on the discussion of word choice and the psychology behind it, I’m still not sure sure if that would classify as misogyny. I assume she posted that picture because she saw it as “proof” (in her eyes) that that person was a man. So, from her point of view, the hate is being directed towards men and not women. Even if they are women from our POV, the hate is really coming from a place of hate towards men IMO, or at least what they see as unmanly men. If it was mainly stemming from a hate of women, I imagine a lot more of them would target trans men instead.

I’ve thought about this before, but don’t see it as misogyny. After all, they don’t see MTF as women. I think it has something in common with gay men receiving more hate and being bigger victims of violence than lesbian women. Maybe it does have something to do with rejecting traditional masculinity - which can be related to misogyny, but is a separate thing.

Lol I don’t disagree but it’s funny to see the vote on Lemmy. Just yesterday someone was getting upvoted for generalising all SAS veterans because of 1 they met + 2 which made the news. But now we’re talking about a trans woman so suddenly people agree we need to respect people who served
