transphobia
transphobia
Noun
This term describes a specific form of prejudice that manifests as a range of negative attitudes, from subtle social exclusion to systemic violence. It is frequently used in sociological, legal, and human rights contexts to describe the structural barriers faced by transgender individuals.
As an abstract noun representing a collective social phenomenon or a psychological state, the word is uncountable. It does not have a plural form and is typically modified by adjectives such as "systemic," "internalized," or "overt" rather than by numeric quantifiers.
