wait, what???<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Simmons College librarians are warning against &#8216;transmisic microaggressions&#8217; in a new guide arguing that cisgender people are &#8216;fragile&#8217; and &#8216;defensive.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The &#8216;Anti-Transmisia&#8217; guide seeks to resist the &#8216;systemized discrimination or antagonism directed against transgender\/nonbinary\/genderqueer\/agender persons,&#8217; explaining that it is a form of hatred &#8216;rooted in a desire to maintain the gender binary.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The gender binary, the librarians argue, is a social construction that causes so-called transmisia and &#8216;obscures the reality of the spectrum and fluidity of gender and marginalizes the identities and experiences of persons whose gender does not align with their birth-assigned sex.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;To that end, the librarians worry that people will intentionally or unintentionally commit &#8216;transmisic microaggressions,&#8217; which they suggest &#8216;communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults in relation to gender, gender identity, and\/or gender expression.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;&#8216;They are structurally based and invoke oppressive systems of a (cis)gender hierarchy. Transmisic Microinvalidations, Microinsults, [and] Microassaults are specific types of microaggressions,&#8217; they add.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The guide also links transmisia to the &#8216;cis fragility&#8217; of people who aren\u2019t transgender, meaning transmisia causes &#8216;cis fragility.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TTFN.<\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatBlog\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalHat\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Oppression Everywhere!!1!: White Supremacist Pyramids; Inclusive Newspeak; Transmisic Microaggressions\"\/><meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"The focus this time: It's the little things that will drive you insane.\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/EaglewithFlag.gif\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another &#8220;quick takes&#8221; on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The focus this time: It&#8217;s the little things that will drive you insane. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;First, a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/2018\/04\/05\/quick-takes-oppression-everywhere1-white-supremacist-pyramids-inclusive-newspeak-transmisic-microaggressions\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5372,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,17],"tags":[25,42,69,48,68],"class_list":["post-14534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-progressives","tag-higher-ed","tag-mood-music","tag-quick-takes","tag-social-justice","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14534"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14534\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14535,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14534\/revisions\/14535"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
