Transphobia

Feminist Literature, 1993

Anything which undermines the reality-defying idea males can be females and females can be males, or that gender is linked to biology.

The first recorded usage was in the New Woman Conference’s “Rites of Passage” newsletter around 1993. The first usage in the popular press is in the same year, published in an article by the DC U.S. News and World Report.
