     The blog critic gudbuy t'jane is even more scathing in her condemnation of the video in arguing that the fact that Lady Gaga 'uses trans women and drag queens to exoticize her videos doesn't defer from the cissupremacist stance that women=vagina, and trans women are therefore not real women . . . This is transmisogyny.'

     I talk about “transmisogyny” in my book, which is the intersection of being trans and experiencing misogyny. As a trans woman, I don't just experience how our culture devalues femininity—I'm treated as a fake woman.

     Later in the text, the author speaks directly with a street sex worker, describing her as a “pretty transgender teenager”, giving a counterpoint to the language earlier in the text—however this occurs well after the transmisogyny of the introductory paragraphs (Wane 2011, 69) …

• It is not necessary for the subject of transmisogyny to be a transfeminine person. People impacted by transmisogyny are described as "transmisogyny-affected" (TMA) while everyone else is labeled "transmisogyny-exempt" (TME).
• Transmisogyny is a distinct concept from both misogyny and transphobia. Typically it involves scrutinizing subjects for behavior deemed too close in association with maleness, as well as their performance of femininity, in ways that cis women would not be subjected to.
  • Ex: The way trans women dress is scrutinized regardless of presentation. Trans women who dress like tomboys or too masculinely are accused of being fake or insincerely trans. Trans women who dress hyperfemininely are accused of reinforcing misogynistic stereotypes.
• Transmisogyny can also be applied at the systemic level to describe societal marginalization of transfeminine people, e.g. trans women suffering from violent crimes at a higher rate than cis women or other trans people.
