A made-up term by self-proclaimed progressives and liberals from the United States who in reality are closeted racists who perceive other cultures as inferior that need to be protected paternalistically.

taking aspects from a minority culture, for it's aesthetics, without knowing the meaning behind. this is often controversial when the appropriated culture was exploited or oppressed by the person "borrowing". people are often insulted and looked down upon for having these features naturally, when someone else is praised for having them, without being from that culture.

Transgender MtF: "I am so moody, I have PMS!"
Cisgender person to MtF: "No you do NOT have PMS, stop cisgender appropriating. You as a MtF do not have a uterus or ovaries. PMS happens in the days after ovulation because estrogen and progesterone levels begin falling dramatically if you are not pregnant. Coming down from your estradiol injection the day "before injection day" is NOT premenstrual syndrome assholes!}.
