 ===Misdirected misogyny===
-Some misogyny ends up doing harm even to people who don't identify as women or who are not assigned female at birth, because others see them as being like women in some way. This can happen to [[Gender nonconformity|gender nonconforming]] cisgender men. When misogyny is used against someone who doesn't identify as a woman or who is not [[AFAB]], then that is called misdirected misogyny. For example, if a  cisgender man, or non woman-aligned [[AMAB]] nonbinary person gets mistaken for a woman, then that person may be subjected to harassment as if they were a woman.
+Some misogyny harms people who aren't women, because others see them as being like women in some way. This is called misdirected misogyny. Transgender men are often subject to misdirected misogyny, as a combination of [[Misgendering|misgendering]] and misogyny, but nonbinary people and cisgender men can also be affected by misdirected misogyny.
-If someone identifies as a trans woman or transfeminine, then misogyny directed against them can be considered trans-misogyny, but not misdirected misogyny. Misdirected misogyny is the word for misogyny experienced by people who aren't woman-identified or AFAB, whereas trans women are women.
+Note that enbymisogyny can be seen as the intersection between enbyphobia and midirected misogyny.
