Exorsexism - what is it?

So, earlier this year (2016), I wrote a text on the topic of binary privilege, where I discussed whether or not there is a need for such a term. And I personally concluded that it is not a productive perspective or approach, however, I think we need to explicitly address the violence and marginalisation one experience when not aligning oneself fully or at all with the gender binary. Since then, I discovered the concept of exorsexism.

Now, what is exorsexism, exactly? It is the antagonism and marginalisation that people outside the binary experience, sometimes used interchangably with "nbphobia". With the topics of transphobia, we already do have a few ways to address how it manifests. I think the specific exclusion and invalidation that non-binary and genderqueer people experience, should be addressed explicitly. I also think that this concept should be named, which is what exorsexism as a term has done.

There are many aspects of transphobia, however, there are specific struggles in society, such as only being able to get legal recognition with a binary gender, a lot of languages being heavily binary gendered, and lack of education and accommodation that compensates for a person not being binary. There is also a lot of erasure and exclusion within the trans community itself, a lot like how the trans community can be hostile and down-prioritising the needs of trans women, it often does the same with non-binary people.

We should address this specificly, but we should not use it to derail discussions of other forms of transphobia, we should use it to address the specific problems that a non-binary person faces, and how society systematicly treats non-binary people, and not a way to have a versus between which is worse. It should be used alongside terms like transmisogyny and cisnormativity when talking about transphobia, and as a word that describes the specific manifestation that this form of cissexism has. 

Even if exorsexism might not necessarily differ much from other forms of transphobia, it is still a specific manifestation of cissexism, and should be addressed as such, even if not completely separate from transphobia. So, I personally have chosen to use this term, alongside terms like transmisogyny, as I face problems specificly for being genderqueer as much as I do for being a transfem, and neither just seem like a vague experience of being a victim of transphobia.
