QuestionDo you dislike the term "transphobia" proper or do you merely prefer "cissexism"? Answer

It’s kinda problematic since it really shits on people with genuine phobias by linking us to bigotry. So I’m not fond of it. But I also really do like the word cissexism. It’s got a really good flow and it makes use of the word cis.
