Defining Transmisia

Transmisia can be defined as an aversion, hatred, or mistrust of people that are transgender, appear to be so, or to those whose gender expression does not conform to common understandings of tradition gender norms. Transmisia can also be expressed as a disbelief of the existence or validity of gender identities that fall under the trans umbrella including, but not limited to: binary transgender men and women, nonbinary transmasculine and transfeminine people, nonbinary people, and those who are gender queer, gender fluid, agender, bigender, neutrois, or demigender. It is important to note that not all people identifying under these terms will use the umbrella term transgender to describe themselves and it is important to be aware of and use the terms stated by an individual on a case by case basis.
