N.B. misandry is not real because men are not systemically oppressed (uninternalize your reddit MRA today: men suffer some drawbacks under the patriarchy but ultimately still maintain it due to the large amount of privileges they receive under it!)

Don’t worry, TERFs aren’t being misandric towards you. They’re too busy allying with reactionary men and being misogynistic to trans feminine people instead.
It’s not just TERFs. That’s why I said I don’t believe that a lot of mainstream feminists are actually opposed to transphobia. I’m talking about liberals when I say this. Since pretending to give a shit about oppression is a major part of being a liberal, this isn’t shocking, though.
They claim their transmisogyny is actually misandry even though it really isn’t, and the reason challenging that “misandry” is important, rather than just telling them to stop being transphobic, is because it’s actually a form of deterministic gender-essentialist misandry (which also only affects trans people because cis men do not need to care about having support from the feminist movement) which manifests as transphobia (and transmisogyny most often) and without a proper ideological base to dismiss such concepts they’ll keep popping up
