Transphobia

Discrimination rooted in the fear, hatred, disbelief, and/or mistrust of transgender people and others whose gender expression doesn’t conform to traditional gender roles within the male/female gender binary. This includes explicit discrimination (e.g, slurs and derogatory language; physical and sexual assault; familial rejection; anti-trans legislation; housing, employment, and healthcare discrimination), microaggressions (e.g., misgendering, mocking pronouns, interrogation of medical history), and more passive forms of discrimination (e.g., unconscious bias, internalized negative attitudes and beliefs about trans people).
