Femmephobia

Femmephobia is loosely defined as the devaluation, denigration and regulation of femininity in any gender or sex. The concept aligns with societal biases that result in discriminatory beliefs about, and behaviors toward, individuals who behave like a woman, regardless of that person's gender identity, assigned sex or sexuality, including the regulation of sexuality, biological determinism, and the trivialization and exclusion of femininity; it is distinct from misogyny, which targets women, whereas femmephobia targets femininity and can be applied to all genders. The term originates from LGBTQ communities, specifically femme lesbian and sexual minority women's communities, though the bias has been observed outside the LGBTQ community as well.
