transphobia

noun

1. (uncountable, usually)Hatred or fear of, or prejudice against, transgender and transsexual people.

   “It is not really a debate about privacy and personal safety versus politics, so much as an impulse towards pride and a rejection of internalized transphobia.”

   “In this case, transphobia is represented in Pollock's terms as both the "condition and the effect" of Cameron's social existence.”

2. (uncountable, usually)The preference of pairs of high-trans effect soft ligands to avoid being mutually trans by becoming cis and having other low-trans effect hard ligands trans to themselves.

   “This unusual reactivity and the selectivity observed can be explained as a consequence of the high transphobia of aryl and P-donor ligands […]”

   “The reactions of trans-[Pt(Mef)Br(PPh₃)₂] with AgBF₄ and Ph₃ECHC(O)R (E = P, R = Me, OMe, Ph; E = As, R = Me) afford only trans-[Pt(Mef){OC(=CHEPh₃)R}(PPh₃)₂] because the C-alkyl/C-ylide transphobia is greater than the C-alkyl/O-ylide transphobia and also because of the lower steric requirement of the O-ylide ligand.”
