Verb (transplaining, transplained). To "explain" the so-called "facts" of a transgender fantasy using circular reasoning and post-modern nonsense words. Usually accompanied by character attacks and other logical fallacies. Common among SJWs and students of gender studies. Similar to the verb "mansplain", but with a right-on lefty twinge.

When a transgender person or transgender ally talks about their identity and/or general issues the transgender community face, and a transphobe wants to silence this discussion, they label whatever the transgender individual says as "transplaining".
Thus, "transplaining" is a slur a transphobe will use to label and stifle any conversation by a transgender individual or ally regarding trans issues.
