Julia Serano coined the word "transmisogyny" in her [[Feminism|trans-feminist]] book, ''Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of [[Femininity]]'' (2007). By far, trans women of color are targeted by more and worse transphobic hate crimes than any other transgender group. Transmisogyny is a big problem because a patriarchal society has contempt for womanhood, femininity, non-conformity, and [[gender variance]]. A patriarchal society sees a trans woman as a combination of all that that society tolerates the least. It is important for any activism for transgender rights to think of how their work could include trans women. | Julia Serano coined the word "transmisogyny" in her [[Feminism|trans-feminist]] book, ''Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of [[Femininity]]'' (2007).

The term '''transmisogynoir''' ("noir" meaning "black" in French) refers more specifically to oppression and bigotry that affects Black transfeminine people. This is a combination of Serrano's word "transmisogyny" with the word "misogynoir", which was coined by Moya Bailey, a queer Black feminist.<ref name="Holleb">{{cite book|title=The A-Z of Gender and Sexuality: From Ace to Ze |last=Holleb |first=Morgan Leb Edward |year=2019 |page=277-278}}</ref> | |||
