Monogenderism & Self Oppression

Monogenderism refers to the pervasive and oppressive belief that an individual has only one gender - as opposed to many parts with different genders. This belief limits our awareness and supports transphobic violence. This article argues that transphobia is a form of reaction formation related to the disowned gender variant parts in the personality system.
