Germansplaining

A non-verbal form of Germansplainin is also known as the GLOD (German Look of Disapproval)

transplaining 

When a trans-person tries to explain your sexual identity or orientation to you contrary to the fact that this is a personal choice and everyone has the right to identify as they please.
Person A: I'm super-straight
Person B (trans): That's transphobic, genital preference isn't a sexual identity..
Person A: Please don't transplain to me, I know what I am and it's not for you to decide. Transplaining is superphobic.

Transplaining 

When a Transgender person or an ally tries explaining sexuality and science to Super Straight people and tries to invalidate their very real and valid identity in the process.
Trans: there's no such thing as a biological female read up on your science. And Super Straight can't be a sexuality it's a preference.

Super Straight: You're Transplaining. I don't know where you're going with this... But it's not in Super Straight pants.
