Quote :

However, even among those willing to date trans persons, a pattern of masculine privileging and transfeminine exclusion appeared*,* such that participants were disproportionately willing to date trans men, but not trans women, even if doing so was counter to their self-identified sexual and gender identity (e.g., a lesbian dating a trans man but not a trans woman). The results are discussed within the context of the implications for trans persons seeking romantic relationships and the pervasiveness of cisgenderism and transmisogyny.

It's not nothing to do with "masculine privileging", and everything to do with FEMALE privileging.

Masculine privileging doesnt even make sense - you're telling me someone born biologically female is going to be more privileged in dating when they present against the the most socially accepted gender presentation in line with their biological sex?

Trans men are female (XX) or female assigned at birth and all the ease of dating from that is reduced on transition, but alot of it still carries over.

But because of ideology, they can't admit that.

If masculinity was privlieged in datiing for trans people, why arent the more masculine non passing trans women killing it in dating compared to the passing hyper feminine trans women?

These researchers dont want to come off like incels so they're incapable of admitting being born female will privilege them over someone born male in dating, regardless if they're cis or trans or if they transition or dont. It makes no difference.

So its not "trans misogyny" at fault. It's more plain misandry because the rejection is based on the trans women having the male tax in dating.
