'''Cissexism''', commonly called '''transphobia''', is a form of [[sexism]]. It is the belief that only [[cisgender]] people are seen as normal or right, and that transgender people are unnatural or dangerous. In action, cissexism opposes the legal rights of transgender people to transition or exist in society. Cissexism results in medical malpractice against trans people, and violence against trans people. Cissexism is harmful to all kinds of [[transgender]] people, including [[nonbinary]] people. | '''Cissexism''', commonly called '''transphobia''', is a form of [[sexism]].
