“As I weed through all these terms, what I’m trying to show here is that misogyny is an action that is about controlling the behavior of women,” said Robinson, who in this research introduces the concept “transamorous misogyny.” The term is intended to capture the paradox in how cisgender heterosexual men claim they desire trans women, but disrespect cisgender women through comparisons, reaffirming their own masculinity.
“The analysis showed men wanting to control women’s behavior and make women behave submissively, upholding men as the dominant one,” Robinson said.
“This hyper-femininity expected of trans women can shape cis men’s desire as well,” said Robinson, chair of UCR’s Gender and Sexuality Department, who is currently working on their next book about trans women’s dating and hookup lives.
In the conversations, Robinson found that the men partly expanded ideas around sexual identity to include desiring a woman’s feminine expressions.
Robinson noted one Reddit poster commented: “I like women and still do but in recent years I started finding trans women attractive as well. Thought I was turning gay for liking a girl with a penis… I think it’s just the feminine form that does it for me. Penis or no penis.”

Just look up 'attraction to trans women' to know more on this sexuality.”
Chasers when will you repent for this sexist behavior?
