The most common forms of bigotry,
discrimination, prejudice, and persecution (particularly on biologically-related grounds) summed up into a single spectrum.
T.R.A.S.H. is an acronym for:
T ransphobia
R acism
A bleism
S exism
H omophobia
If a person hosts either
one of these forms of hatred or
discrimination, then they fall into the T.R.A.S.H. spectrum. In other words, they are T.R.A.S.H.
The meaning of T.R.A.S.H., however, can also be manipulated so that it can hold a wider spectrum of hatred (ex. Sexism/Speciesism/Sexual-Prejudice, Homophobia/
Heterophobia, Racism/Religious-Prejudice, Ableism/
Antisemitism/Ageism, etc).
The word can also be spelled "TRASH" or just "trash", which although can obscure it's true meaning, may still have the same results and can make it an innuendo.
Different variants of T.R.A.S.H. include:
- T.R.A.S.H. CAN
- T.R.A.S.H.C.A.N. (C.A.N. meaning Classism And National-Prejudice)
- S.T.A.R.C.H.: The same as T.R.A.S.H. except Classism is added. Variants of this include "Potato", "Carb", "Bad Carb", and "Empty Carb", which can be used as a play on words.
- TRASHy
- STARCHy
- TRASHiness
- STARCHiness
The opposite of T.R.A.S.H. is C.L.E.A.N. or F.R.E.S.H., which stand for:
C are
L ove
E quality (or Equity)
A lliance (or Allegiance)
