Usage notes

• The term is common in science and social science literature, but is little used by the trans community and considered offensive by some. GLAAD says the term is primarily used by anti-transgender activists, and recommends synonyms like "being transgender". Julia Serano agrees that it has been appropriated by transphobic authors in recent years and used as though it referred to an ideology (compare e.g. liberalism or conservatism) rather than a state of being; she does not consider it offensive per se but notes that it has started to be objected to.

   • 2006, Susan Stryker, Stephen Whittle, The Transgender Studies Reader:

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

Carmen Ram??rez de Arellano, Mono- and di-nuclear complexes of ortho-palladated and -platinated 4,4?-dimethylazobenzene with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane. More data on transphobia. in the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, volume 663, issues 1-2, pages 164–172:

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

   • 2009, José Vicente, Coordination chemistry of metal enolato complexes, in The chemistry of metal enolates, edited by Jacob Zabicky, page 316:

     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.
