The same is true when someone has suffered sexual violence from a man and as a result gets the trigger ‘penis’ no matter who own that penis. It means cissexism has taught your head to make the link between penis and rape, without considering that penisses also belong to women, in fact, to a group of women extremely likely to suffer sexual violence themselves. The link your head made when it set up that trigger is transmisogynistic. You may not have wanted it that way, you had no control over it, but it was shaped by transmisogyny none the less. And while you should NOT jump in bed with a trans woman to fix that (spare trans woman your issues, they deserve people who love them), you should defenitely acknowledge that transmisogyny shaped your trigger and that you can probably work to unlearn this.
