transphobia doesn’t just address any empirical transgender individual or group (although sometimes they’ll mark a distinction between real “transsexuals” and “transtrenders” who are indoctrinated by gender ideology) in as much as it attacks the sense in being transgender itself. their rhetoric addresses you even if you aren’t around to hear it, their legislation addresses you even if you are made the exception, and their violence targets you even if you’re lucky enough not to feel it.

Transmisogyny is a specific form of misogyny that targets transfeminine people, as well as a specific type of transphobia. It's not simply transphobia towards transfeminine people. All trans people are transphobia-affected, but not all trans people are transmisogyny-affected. For example, trans women being pushed into sex work (second type womanhood) is one result of transmisogyny, while anti-transmasculinity takes on the form of patriarchal society trying to detransition trans men and force them to be mothers and wives (first type womanhood). Both are obviously transphobia. The broad concept of transphobia is useful, but sometimes more precision is necessary.
