I think its unfair to say that:

-It is transmasc-hating to complain about their behaviour when they display mysoginistic behavior towards transfems;
-That there isn't a material difference (salary, access to food, shelter, medicine, etc) between trans women and other trans people (especially trans men).

That last one bewilders me because there's literally already data that shows trans women are often poorer and more often living in precarious situations or completely homeless. Like does transphobia affect everyone greatly? Yes. But pretending basic feminist analysis is pointless or untrue is pointless imo.

It is not bioessentialist to say men are better off compared to everyone else. It's been that way for centuries and it's a very easily observable phenomemon everywhere. I think it is bioessentialist to assume trans men are exempt from that somehow.

Let's just entertain this line of thought for a moment: If you genuinely believe trans men don't have a leg up compared to trans women (again, easily observable phenomenon with a lot of data to back it up), why do you think that?

Is it because they used to be women? Or have physical traits associated with womanhood? This very quickly turns into terf shit. Bioessentialist as hell.

If you genuinely believe a trans woman is, in all senses, a woman, then you have to believe trans men are men in all senses as well.

Men benefit from the patriarchy. Do some men benefit less? Yes. In particular racialized men, trans men, gay men, gender non-conforming men, etc. But they still benefit in comparison to racialized women, trans women, gay women, gender non-conforming women, etc.

It's not rocket science, and I will not give myself conditional womanhood so that people who fully identify as men can take better advantage of their position.

If your definition of woman includes trans women, then your definition man needs to include trans men, too. It is not hatred to say trans men are capable of misogyny.

And I say misogyny, because I am not less of a woman than my cis counterparts, as much as they want me to think I am.
