    Are people writing “she” instead of “they” misogynistic and transphobic too?

    There’s no such thing as “reverse racism”, “misandry”, etc. That’s not how systemic oppression works.

      Right, “reverse racism” and “misandry” are just plain ol’ prejudice.

      I guess it’s up to you whether you think being prejudice is only bad if you belong to the group systemically in power, or if you think being prejudice against someone for the circumstances of their birth is bad regardless of either party’s systemic stature, but we should be correct in our use of language.
