S2 E1: “That’s a Rare F**king Woman”

trans misogyny /tranz spās məˈsäjənē/ (n.): internalized misogyny that expresses itself externally through disidentification with women… and asserting the right to assess a woman’s intelligence, legitimacy, or moral worth based on what your bro says

In this episode, two butch lesbians examine how it could be that the very people who assert authority on female masculinity apparently think we’re unicorns, and how an unhinged disrespect toward feminine women tracks pretty closely with that ignorance.
