Meanings

  1. (uncountable, usually) Hatred or fear of, or prejudice against, transgender and transsexual people or transness in general, which may manifest in prejudice against people who do not conform to social gender roles (gender-nonconforming people) in general.
    • In this case, transphobia is represented in Pollock's terms as both the "condition and the effect" of Cameron's social existence. 2006, Susan Stryker, Stephen Whittle, The Transgender Studies Reader:
    • 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. 1998, Kate Bornstein, My Gender Workbook:
  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 […] 2002 December 2, José Vicente, Aurelia Arcas, Delia Bautista, M. Carmen Ramı́rez 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
    • In the symbiotic effect, a hard ligand tends to form ionic M-L bonds in which L retains more negative charge than in a soft ligand case, letting the metal ion keep more of its positive charge and hence attract additional hard ligands, […]. The antisymbiotic effect, also called transphobia, applies to pairs of high trans effect, soft ligands on a soft metal. Where a choice exists, there is a strong tendency for such ligands to avoid being mutually trans by becoming cis and preferring to have low trans effect, hard ligands trans to themselves. 2014, Robert H. Crabtree, The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals, →ISBN, page 78:
    • 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. 2009, José Vicente, “Coordination chemistry of metal enolato complexes”, in Jacob Zabicky, editor, The chemistry of metal enolates, page 316:
