Prejudice against wlw - the intersection of homophobia/biphobia and misogyny against wlw. Not to be confused with lesbophobia, sapphigyny refers more broadly to prejudice against all stripes of femme folks - not just cis lesbians.
Derived from the words "sapphic" meaning "girl-loving," and "misogyny" meaning prejudice against women, a sapphigynist will seek to put wlw down for their power, authority or sexual autonomy. They'll frequently be seen pushing narratives about wlw being secretly bisexual, ascribing heterosexual gender norms to wlw relationships, or fetishizing wlw by acting as a voyeur while they have sex.
