Effemimania

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

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; Whipping Girl, the book in which Serano coined it; a blog post quoting from Whipping Girl ; and an article on effeminacy which does not mention the term. 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:[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19419899.2014.921860 "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)
