	Transphobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transphobia refers to various kinds of aversions towards transsexuality and transsexual or transgendered people.
		Whether intentional or not, transphobia can have severe consequences for the targeted person; also, many transpeople experience homophobia as well, from people who associate gender identity disorder as a form of homosexuality (see Homosexuality and Transgender).
		For example, transwomen (male-to-female transgender and transsexual people) are sometimes denied entry to women's spaces, and the explanations given for such denials betray a degree of transphobia.

	Transphobia & CT Hate Crime Legislation
		Transphobia, like racist violence, allows us to falsely identify the victims of violence as the provocateurs of violence.
		As Dallas Denny (1992) says, "Despite the fact that they are much more often victims of violence than they are perpetrators, transgendered persons are frequently portrayed in the media as psychotics and criminals." Given victimization of transgender people by the police and service provides this is particularly ironic.
		However, Transphobia results from a fear of ones Transgressing the societal Gender binaries of Masculine and Feminine [TransGender].

	GENDYS Journal - Transphobia
		Transphobia means fear of transgender and prejudice against transgender people.
		Research evidence shows that transphobia can be linked to the dominance of a range of discourses (sets of ideas) and processes, including ethnocentrism, racism and colonialism, patriarchy, homophobia, sexphobia and religion.
		Homophobia is enmeshed with transphobia: transgender people are often stigmatised because they are seen as homosexual, and vice versa.

	Barbelith Underground > Head Shop > Transphobia vs. Cisgenderism
		Transphobia: by extension from 'homophobia,' an irrational personal aversion to trans people on the part of an individual, or several individuals considered as individuals.
		I'd like to make it clear that I consider access to social systems to be a privilege which is possessed in greater measure by certain groups than by others, and this inequality is a problem for a lot of people.
		By focusing on cisgenderism and transphobia in this thread I do not mean to imply that these issues eclipse racism and racial prejudice, for example, or any of the other limiting factors I've described above.

		If you ask a Hijra about her sex, she'll tell you she is female in her eyes just as any modern transexual woman would.
		Transphobia is just as subtle as all bigotry can be, even those who profess to wanting to help us by lumping us into that "umbrella" term cannot state that we become forgotten under the veil of their insulting term.
		While there may be a potential for survival in this mutual association labeled transgender, the primary function is social and political, and not clinical despite the efforts of some to legitimize this essentially meaningless term.

	Trans Accessibility Project: Transphobia And Discrimination

		Eventually the pressure and transphobia she experienced at work became so oppressive that she was forced to leave her position and seek employment out of the academic environment.
		The law in England at this time protected her from being fired from her job on the grounds of her being a transsexual but she felt to take on a legal battle at that most delicate time of her life was more than she could handle.
		The further problem was that the transphobia was so engrained amongst certain groups of students that it would have been impossible to prove on such a wide scale.

		Transphobia is the fear and hatred of transgender or transexual people.
		Transphobia is unique because many people are not exposed to the idea of people challenging the two-gender system that is so prevalent globally.
		People who do not fit into the category of male or female, emotionally or physically, may be forced to deal with hostility because of the simplest decisions in their lives, such as which bathroom to use.

	Official Shrub.com Blog » Blog Archive » Transphobia to the left of me, Anti-feminism to the right…
		But, their feminism is so tainted by gender essentialism and transphobia (as if it’s somehow more acceptable than sexism, homophobia, racisim, or what-have-you) that I’m also loathe to include their narrow ideals in what I see is a plural movement focused on equality.
		But feminism is not about freeing men, however they’re defined; if it were, it could not exist: women being in charge of whether men are enslaved or set free would put women in an oppressive, not oppressed, position as compared to men.
		In this particular case, it is my belief that the transphobic feminists are using their woman-born-woman status to oppress the transgendered (transwomen specifically in the examples I cite) by trying to exclude them from the feminist movement.

	GL vs BT
		“Biphobia” and “transphobia” not only offer an inadequate understanding of contemporary events, but also contribute to the internecine conflicts of those who might otherwise be standing shoulder to shoulder in a heterosexist world that grants them but little quarter.
		Biphobia and transphobia are not good descriptions of the phenomenon of heterosexist prejudice against bisexuals and transgenders, and are particularly inappropriate in the case of heterosexist prejudices within the GLBT community.
		“Biphobia” and “transphobia” are a result of these social and political forces, not psychological forces causing irrational fears in aberrant individuals.

		There appears to be a widening of social tolerance for sexual minorities, which makes life easier for some transvestites, cross- dressers and drag queens and kings.
		Transphobia, defined here as the fear of and stigmatisation of transgender people, is at the root of the problems that many transgender people experience.
		In addition, there are powerful forces which support transphobia which operate at cultural, but usually unconscious levels.

	Barbelith Underground > Head Shop > The Guardian, transphobia and do lesbians get a day pass?
		Burchill got away with all kinds of homophobic and racist remarks too (amongst other things), and this was to a large extent what she was paid for.
		So her transphobia, in as much as it can be identified as part of a broader attitude, is firmly part of the Left.
		I don't think that means expecting the Guardian to be perfect or to say that its transphobia is at odds with its claim to be a left-wing paper: it's just putting pressure on a fault-line in its self-presentation ("You claim to be a left-wing paper and yet a substantial strand of left-wing opinion feels that...").

	Trans Accessibility Project: Transphobia In The Women's Movement
		Certainly there many wonderful aspects of women's culture and social relationships that men could enjoy and benefit from, but the symbolic "possession of women's creative energies" is achieved at a very high cost for transsexual women.
		They are, presumably, trading male privilege (that Raymond would insist that they enjoy) for lowered social status, suffocating transphobia, and the sexism experienced by all women (transgendered or biological).
		Although the rest of the world treated them as male, transsexual women do not speak of enjoying their male status; rather, they report detesting it.

		Transphobia on this campus is on the rise, and I’m nervous.
		Everday students are faced with transphobia through silence in the classrooms, lack of health services, lack of bathroom and locker room options, inaccurate pronoun usage, derogatory statements in the bathrooms and on the street, and acceptance and support for offensive and degrading remarks directed at trans students.
		Why is it that ignorance and silence is accepted and ok? I get nervous when I read the Argus and see that someone thought it was ok, funny even, to make a comic aimed directly at another student invalidating their concerns about transphobia on this campus.

		So Transphobia isn't just a problem for the gay community, it's something thatwe must all embrace and challenge.
		The main reason that a lot of gay people are excluding trans people from their community is that there are a lot of straight transgendered and transexual people, this is where it gets confusing!

		Tennessee Jones: There are two instances of self-mutilation in Choir Boy: one where Berry cuts his scrotum and another where he cuts one of his breasts after he has begun taking hormones.
		In the context of the novel, it has to do with a lot of other stuff besides the fact that he's grown breasts, but yeah, he's partly feeling freaked out by his own trans-ness.
		I think it's important to talk about internalized transphobia, because most transpeople have dealt with it at one time or another.
