New term that better reflect what's going on. People want to get away from describing bigotry as a phobia since it's not a fear response, just a hateful one. The miso- comes from misogyny, specifically trans-misogyny which got shortened into transmisia and adopted to broadly cover all anti-trans bias.

It doesn't come from "misogyny", that just happens to be another word that uses the miso- "hatred, aversion" affix.

It quite literally does since it's the elided form of trans-misogyny.

what a weird term. misogyny is quite literally about women, putting a prefix on 'misogyny' to describe a hatred of people who aren't always women doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Whoever told you this was wrong too. "Transmisia" is equivalent to "transphobia" but with μῖσος ("hatred") substituted for φόβος ("fear"). It's not a contraction or elision of anything.

I guess that means my own observations about the language shifts in my community, combined with my Classical Studies degree, are wrong because you're bad at linguistics and think correlation means causation. :shrug:

i looked it up.

trans-misogyny is the intersection of transphobia and misogyny. transmisia is, apparently, a not widely used term (on the internet) used to replace 'transphobia' by people who think the usage of -phobias to describe various bigotries is damaging to people who suffer from more classical phobias.

at the very least, trans-misogyny is a distinct bias as compared to transmisia, so i don't think one would naturally evolve into the other.

Yes , the idea is to be as descriptive as possible and not to give bigots and out by saying they were afraid. Remember the gay and trans panic defenses are still valid in much of the country.

Audience is important. Transmisia seems useful in circles where the precise definition is appreciated. Anti-[group] seems useful in dealing with folks who don't run in those circles and don't know what the gently caress yet.

Refining language to better describe a concept seems like the natural progression of language so I don't know what the fuss is about?

Jargon also has a tendency to alienate others and become a shibboleth for restrictive in-group out-group categorization. If you're not doing research, might want to stick to language other people might actually understand. Not many people are interested in taking the equivalent of a college class before you deign to speak to them.

I think it's hard enough labor to battle homophobia and transphobia without starting a simultaneous battle over finding new words for them because of some etymological pedantry.

Ok just checking.

Having read your answer, I see now you said everything you wanted to say when you replied with “um”. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
THere is a church near me who sometimes has billboards that are kind of funny if you intentionally misread their meaning, like "Jesus died for a reason... YOU!"

I like to read that as a direct accusation, and respond (not directly mind, just as a joke pointing out the wording to passers by if I happen to be going that way) with "Don't put that poo poo on me, I wasn't even born yet!" as a joke.
