transphobia
Transphobia refers to negative attitudes, beliefs, or actions directed toward transgender individuals or those who do not conform to traditional gender norms. This can manifest in various forms, including discrimination, harassment, and violence, often leading to significant emotional and psychological harm for those affected.
The roots of transphobia can be found in societal norms and stereotypes surrounding gender identity. Education and awareness about gender identity and the experiences of transgender people are essential in combating transphobia and promoting acceptance and understanding within communities.
