This term is a neologism coined by the gender theorist Julia Serano which has not gained wide acceptance or coverage. The sources currently are a book which mentions in passing that Serano coined the term[1]; Whipping Girl, the book in which Serano coined it[2]; a blog post quoting from Whipping Girl [3]; and an article on effeminacy which does not mention the term[4]. Looking for other sources, I found this, which lists it as one of "a proliferation of terms to describe discrimination rooted in femininity", and a handful of brief mentions of Serano developing the concept/coining the term:[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]"Serano also discusses the concept of effemimania, a concept she uses to conceptualise ..." It might be appropriate to merge/redirect to Whipping Girl, Julia Serano, or Transmisogyny, but the sources in my opinion are insufficient for a stand-alone article. gnu 57 17:47, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
