Transmasculine people, including trans men, talking about specific oppression directed towards them, is not denying the existence or severity of transmisogyny.
There is a common misconception that transmasculine and transfeminine liberation are contradictory objectives rather than deeply intertwined ones. I think this comes from a deeply linear view of transition and seeing transmasculine and transfeminine people as "opposites".
Transmasculine and transfeminine people's liberation is inseparable and intertwined. We can find much more allyship and solidarity with each other than we can with the majority of cis onlookers. Our survival depends on it.
Part of the trans experience is accepting that others' dysphoria will look like euphoria to you, and vice versa. Understanding that these experiences complement each other rather than contradicting each other is crucial to solidarity and collaboration.
