Full definition of transphobia
Noun
- Fear or hatred of transsexuality or transgenderism, or of trans individuals.
- 1998, Kate Bornstein, My Gender Workbook:It is not really a debate about privacy and personal safety versus politics, so much as an impulse towards pride and a rejection of internalized transphobia.
- 2006, Susan Stryker, Stephen Whittle, The Transgender Studies Reader:In this case, transphobia is represented in Pollock's terms as both the "condition and the effect" of Cameron's social existence.
- (chemistry) The preference of pairs of high-trans effect soft ligands to avoid being mutually trans by becoming cis and having other low-trans effect hard ligands trans to themselves.

transphobia is greater than the

transphobia and also because of the lower steric requirement of the
O-ylide ligand.
- 2014, Robert H. Crabtree, The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals (ISBN 1118788249), page 78:In the symbiotic effect, a hard ligand tends to form ionic M-L bonds in which L retains more negative charge than in a soft ligand case, letting the metal ion keep more of its positive charge and hence attract additional hard ligands, .... The antisymbiotic effect, also called transphobia, applies to pairs of high trans effect, soft ligands on a soft metal. Where a choice exists, there is a strong tendency for such ligands to avoid being mutually trans by becoming cis and preferring to have low trans effect, hard ligands trans to themselves.
