Meaning of homomisia | Babel Free
Examples
“Many have⟳ now expressed logomisia (dislike or hatred of a word) for the word 'homophobia', partly because the 'phobia' part suggests fear rather than hate⟳ (and also because that seems to dignify it as a psychiatric condition). Taking a parallel from the word 'logomisia', then, one could propose⟳ 'homomisia' (or 'homophilomisia', rather unwieldy). However, like⟳ DvBrighoff's coinage 'erastophobia', it'll never catch⟳ on in the real world.”
“The argument that homophobia or homomisia was never part of the indigenous communities but was introduced by Europeans during the colonial era is an interesting assertion.”
“[Jordin Manning:] Not everybody is gonna know⟳ that I go by they/them pronouns, but there are other people who just have⟳ an aversion, or what I have⟳ known to be called as, transmisia or homomisia (-misia means aversion,) as opposed to phobia, to not further stigmatize people who have⟳ legit phobias.”
“Any hateful content and bigotry will not be permitted. This includes trans-exclusionary content, racism, sexism, homomisia (hatred of homosexuality) or other sexualities (including asexuality), and so on.”
“The problems in this country that feed⟳ white supremacy—racism, patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, misogyny, homomisia, transmisia, Islammisia, xenomisia—are systemic.”
