Facing Misdirected Frustration with Misogyny

The resistance towards being called a birthing person instead of a woman can stem from a deep-rooted history of misogyny and discrimination faced by biological women. The misdirected frustration with misogyny often leads to scapegoating trans individuals in gender critical discussions. In leftist spaces where misogyny is prevalent, women sometimes feel compelled to cater to men, making it challenging to speak out against sexism. Trans people, as a marginalized group, become easy targets for displaced rage and frustration.
