What accounts for transmisogyny?

"A disdain for feminine stereotyping. It is evident that many feminist transphobes have been traumatized by women's gender roles and stereotypes, which they did not fit physically, psychologically, or in life ambition. They had a hard time being accepted and valued as women and seem to resent the ease with which some trans women are accepted as women. Many of these women were traumatized by sexual assault, which may explain why the penis so often seems to be the real issue. But puzzlingly, they fail to identify with trans women who have also been sexually assaulted by the same instrument."

~ An exercept from "Exploring Transgender Law and Politics" by Catherine A. MacKinnon et. al

something that frustrates me is that so much of liberal communication requires ignoring the causes of things.

like if you are writing about anything for a liberal workplace, organization, news outlet, etc., you can talk about things like racism, homelessness, misogyny, trans-antagonism, ableism, etc., but you can't get into the material reasons why these things happen, because it implicates racial capitalism and settler colonialism. and that's the thing that liberals will never allow you to acknowledge.

so you get all these articles like "wow all these bad things are happening, why do Black people have worse health outcomes in so many areas like maternal mortality or covid risk? why is agricultural and domestic labor paid so low? why are certain areas of the world constantly in states of political unrest and struggling with repeated environmental disasters? why are some countries 'undeveloped'? why is there so much sexual violence and abuse?" and then they spin a wheel that only has two possible answers it can fall on and that's "bad apples" or "it's just the way it is"
