Share definition Flag
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.

Transplain 

Share definition Flag
When a transgendered person (typically someone who is assigned male at birth) talks down to cisgendered people (typically cisgendered women) about various topics including biology, gender, gender expression, privilege, etc. Often it is an outlandish idea or talking point that when opposed by a cisgendered person the trans individual or followers of said individual will call the cisgendered person a bigot or transphobic for lack of a better argument.
Amab Transfemme: I take HRT and it gives me a period. I get tender breasts, cramps and I'm super hormonal at certain times of the month.

Cis woman: I'm sorry but that's not a period. You don't have a uterus or ovaries so that's physically impossible.

Amab transfemme: My period is very real to me! I do everything but bleed! You're being exclusionary to trans women! How privileged you are to be Cis! You're transphobic!

Cisgender woman: Did you just transplain my own bodily function to me?
