What is ‘Transplaining’?
Pippa Catterall a transgender woman and Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster helped us with this explanation of what transplaining means.
She told us,
“Transitive verb with similar connotations to mansplain.
“It can be used to describe the ways in which some well-meaning trans people pontificate about their transition experiences and processes as if they are the only authentic or right ones.”
