Trans Misogyny Research Paper
To understand the issue of trans-misogyny, we must first define the word(s). Trans-misogyny is composed of two separate words, trans and misogyny. Trans is the shortened version of transsexual, a person who emotionally and psychologically feels that they belong to the opposite sex#. Misogyny is the hatred of women#. So when we speak of trans-misogyny, we mean the hatred of trans-women, so male-to-female individuals. This is another form of discrimination, and hatred, like homophobia, xenophobia and racism, thing that we should root out from within us.
