Iransplaining

When non-Iranians speak over, dismiss, or reinterpret Iranian voices and lived experiences—often while positioning themselves as more informed or authoritative on issues that directly affect Iranians.

“Every time Iranians share what’s happening, some “activists” jumps in to correct them with headlines they barely understand. That’s straight-up Iransplaining.”

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.

Transplaining 

When a transgender person (generally who was previously male and has transitioned or is in the process of transitioning) continues to exhibit "mansplaining" behaviour, but not longer associates with that gender.

"OMG I was just showing them my makeup routine, and they started transplaining to me about why I shouldn't be using that foundation for my skin."

When transgender individuals complain about their self-created drama to their eternal spouse Tumblr, under the impression that the rest of the world is to unquestioningly conform its will and behavior to their demented ramblings. Spinoff of mansplaining

When your parents tell you how to look after your kids. Back in their day they did things differently.

G: I brought up six kids and they all slept on their front. None of them died.
Me: Great, but times and advice have both changed. Stop gransplaining.

Gransplaining 

When someone of an older generation (typically a Baby Boomer) condescendingly explains why you are doing something wrong, even though they lack the shared experience necessary to equate theirs with yours.

"You don't need to go into debt to attend college. Just get a part-time job like I did!"

"Stop gransplaining me, Boomer."
