This is a topic that has been vital to my understanding of the world over the past few years, but it's still relatively unknown outside certain circles of activists. When I mention it as an area of my work, I almost invariably have to explain what it is. The short answer is that it is the intersection of transphobia and misogyny that specifically targets trans women. But that dry academic answer never communicates the visceral and intense experience that it is.

Here's a limited list of examples of what transmisogyny looks like. Every example on this list has a story (or dozens of stories) behind it.

In Tobi's article there was one who said it best in comments. Name is Mary. No one should be shunned for help.
I wonder what other word Tobi can come up with. Maybe if hir would talk in simple language, most people would understand Hir.
