abuse 

Me telling people my adoptive family is very abusive and violent at age 12: Haha, yeah, sure. Ok. You seem to be very introverted, let's work on that, huh?

Me telling people my adoptive family was very abusive and violent at age 35: Oh, that's awful! You went through so much! Why didn't anyone do anything?

homophobia 

Sucking on straws is GAY because humans are holes and straws are holes and sucking on a straw is like sucking on a hole is like sucking on a human (of the same gender)

@Sapphicgiraffic @caymanwent counterpoint: humans contain no holes and your intestines are actually an interface with the outside world. i was taught this in medschool and i shit u not it is 100% accurate

being treated 'like a man' is different from, and worse than, being treated *as* a man, and that difference is perhaps nowhere more keenly expressed than in relationships between cis women and transmisogyny-exempt 'woman aligned' people, on the one hand, and the nonbinary, transmisogyny-constrained partners whom they treat 'like a man' on the other;

unless it is more starkly articulated in the relationships between cis women and transmisogyny-exempt 'woman aligned' parents and their nonbinary, transmisogyny-constrained children.

it is inaccurate to say that cis feminism 'struggles with' this dynamic; on the contrary, cis feminism is broadly employed as the ideological justification for mis-treating someone 'like a man'.
