forms of transphobia you should watch out for in your speech and thought processes
casual cissexism:Â associating genitalia/body parts with gender, statements like âgod iâm such a lesbian i love vaginasâ and âguys donât understand periods at allâ or anything that implies people with vaginas and breasts = female and people with penises = male
nonbinary erasure:Â phrases like âopposite genderâ, statements that imply male and female are the only genders
intersex erasure:Â phrases like âopposite sexâ, statements that imply there are only two sexes and that everyone is born with strictly a vagina or penis
assuming gender based on appearance:Â if you donât know someoneâs gender, donât assume they are female and donât refer to them as âsheâ just because they appear dfab or femme. donât use gendered terms to refer to someone whose gender you do not know.
