transphobia

Transphobia refers to negative attitudes, feelings, or discriminatory actions against transgender or non-binary individuals. It can manifest in various ways, including social stigma, exclusion, verbal abuse, and even physical violence. Transphobia often stems from misunderstandings about gender identity and reinforces harmful stereotypes. This discrimination can have serious psychological and physical impacts on those affected. Combating transphobia involves promoting understanding, acceptance, and respect for all gender identities, fostering an inclusive society where everyone can live authentically and without fear of prejudice.
