Only one kind of "trans misogyny" exists: misogyny encouraged and perpetrated by trans individuals and the trans community, of which many infuriating examples may be seen here.
Those who bother to understand gender theory, and who are not misogynistic gender essentialists who believe that a gender role is something inborn but something socialized, understand this. When an MTF is attacked for daring to break the rules of the gendered world, it is not an act of terrorism just against trans individuals; it's an act of terrorism against all women, everywhere.
