I know no one wants to acknowledge it but you people need to be aware that hatred of gendernonconforming cis people is also literally transmisia.

Transmisia is hatred against anyone and everyone who transgresses gender norms.

Transgenderist Pride Flag

“Transgenderist” (TG or transgendrist/transgenist), or “transgenderal”/transgendral/transgenal: a reclaimed term. It used to describe and/or encompass transines/medically non-transitioning cisn’ts, cuspers/evenics, and third-gender/aliagender (generally androgyne, epicene or neutrois) individuals. A precursor of genderqueer. Also included under transgender/transgendre/transgen.

It’s an outdated term and not in contemporary use anymore, considered politically regressive, but some do reclaim/resignify transgenderist for themselves as a way of empowerment. -Ap

(some more line breaks added for accessibility)

Trans people are diverse: some identify and live as members of the sex different from what was assigned to them by medical authorities, either with or without medical intervention, while others identify with neither or both of male and female sexes. Trans liberation is about taking back the right to define ourselves from medical, religious and political authorities. Transfeminism views any method of assigning sex to be socially and politically constructed, and advocates a social arrangement where one is free to assign her or his own sex (or non-sex, for that matter). As trans people begin to organize politically, it is tempting to adopt the essentialist notion of gender identity. The cliché popularized by the mass media is that trans people are "women trapped in men's bodies" or vice versa. The attractiveness of such a strategy is clear, as the general population is more likely to become supportive of us if we could convince them that we are somehow born with a biological error over which we have no control over it. It is also often in tune with our own sense of who we are, which feels very deep and fundamental to us. However, as transfeminists, we resist such temptations because of their implications.

Trans people have often been described as those whose physical sex does not match the gender of their mind or soul. This explanation might make sense intuitively, but it is nonetheless problematic for transfeminism. To say that one has a female mind or soul would mean there are male and female minds that are different from each other in some identifiable way, which in turn may be used to justify discrimination against women. Essentializing our gender identity can be just as dangerous as resorting to biological essentialism.

Transfeminism believes that we construct our own gender identities based on what feels genuine, comfortable and sincere to us as we live and relate to others within given social and cultural constraint. This holds true for those whose gender identity is in congruence with their birth sex, as well as for trans people. Our demand for recognition and respect shall in no way be weakened by this acknowledgement. Instead of justifying our existence through the reverse essentialism, transfeminism dismantles the essentialist assumption of the normativity of the sex/gender congruence.
