 [[Binarism]] is a form of [[Ethnicity and culture#Racism and cultural discrimination|racist]] discrimination based in nonbinary erasure. Western culture typically erases nonbinary and transgender identities. As a result, Western colonialism puts pressure on other cultures to conform to its own form of the [[gender binary]], based in white norms. This includes discrimination against [[gender-variant identities worldwide|gender roles unique to other ethnicities]].

-Trans-misogyny, or transmisogyny, is sexist discrimination against transgender women. Julia Serano made the word for her trans-feminist book, ''Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity'' (2007). By far, trans women of color are targeted by more and worse transphobic hate crimes than any other transgender group. Trans-misogyny is such a big problem because a patriarchal society-- by definition-- has contempt for womanhood, femininity, non-conformity, and gender variance. A patriarchal society sees a trans woman as a combination of all that the society tolerates the least. It is important for any activism for transgender rights to think of how their work could include trans women.
