...? I don't even do omegaverse, I certainly won't pretend to understand the history or the specific bigotries the fanbase comes up with, but the idea that their cissexism is somehow different from the cissexism in the rest of the world is laughable. I've seen variations on this idea, that well THIS fandom or group has a unique manifestation of bigotry that's totally unrelated to the rest of the world, and it's always just ridiculous.
"People don't want to imagine women with dicks" is not the only anti-trans problem in the world! Transmasc folks get harassed, they get specifically transmisandrist manifestations of bigotry, which has nothing to do with being mistaken for being women with penises!
I'm remembering that one Twitter thread in which someone talked about how in mixed trans spaces, sometimes the trans women would hang out doing nothing while the trans men did all the chores, and they'd call it feminist because it was the *men* laboring. And it reminds me of several (not a lot, certainly not all) transfems I met, who picked up a lot of toxic masculinity pre-transition (eg, threatening violence and sexual assault at people as a way to make themselves feel better) but call it transmisogyny when anyone calls them out on it. And like, yes, false accusations against trans women are a thing, there's a long history of people accusing trans women of being men as bigotry, but also, STOP THREATENING TO HIT PEOPLE.
