	'''Trans-misogyny''' is a term that was invented by author Julia Serano in the book, {{cite book\|last=Serano\|first=Julia\|title=Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity\|year=2007\|isbn=1580051545\|oclc=81252738}} to describe how "traditional sexism - the belief that maleness and masculinity are superior to femaleness and femininity" are applied to [[transsexual]] women in the attempt to enforce the traditional patriarchy. This sort of discrimination can be seen when a trans woman is ridiculed or otherwise sanctioned for expressing her femaleness or femininity.		'''Trans-misogyny''' is a term that was invented by author Julia Serano in the book, {{cite book\|last=Serano\|first=Julia\|title=Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity\|year=2007\|isbn=1580051545\|oclc=81252738}} to describe how "traditional sexism - the belief that maleness and masculinity are superior to femaleness and femininity" are applied to [[transsexual]] women in the attempt to enforce the traditional patriarchy. This sort of discrimination can be seen when a trans woman is ridiculed or otherwise sanctioned for expressing her femaleness or femininity.

	On the other hand, transfeminism, which advocates support of transgender people as a feminist issue, is most often associated with the feminist Third Wave, though it can be traced back to the work of [[Sandy Stone]] and [[Sylvia Rivera]] during the Second Wave. The term ''transfeminism'' was introduced by [[Diana Courvant]] in the 1990s; she later initiated it as an area of academic study in 2000 along with [[Emi Koyama]]. Other writers who have been credited with introducing the concept of trans feminism in the 1990s include [[Patrick Califia]] and [[Jessica Xavier]]. The Third Wave saw criticism by women of color, lesbians, and working class women, among others, of the belief that all women share a common experience. The [[intersectionality]] of oppressions, as articulated by [[Julia Serano]], allows these different groups of women to join together, each from their own perspective, to criticize patriarchy as the source of their various oppressions which can intersect in any number of ways.

	The term '''transvestism''' has undergone several changes of meaning since it was coined in the 1910s; and, unfortunately, it is still used in ''all'' of these meanings except the very first one. Therefore it is important to find out, whenever the word is encountered, in which particular sense it is used.

	The uterus mostly consists of muscle. The innermost permanent layer of tissue is called the endometrium. In most mammals, including humans, the endometrium builds a lining periodically which, if no pregnancy occurs, is shed or reabsorbed. Shedding of the endometrial lining in humans is responsible for menstrual bleeding (known colloquially as a woman's "period") throughout the fertile years of a female. In other mammals there may be cycles set as widely apart as six months or as frequently as a few days.		The uterus mostly consists of muscle.

	The '''vagina''' (from the Latin for "sheath" or "scabbard" ) is the tubular tract leading from the [[uterus]] to the exterior of the body in female mammals, or to the cloaca in female birds and some reptiles. Female insects and other invertebrates also have a vagina, which is the terminal part of the oviduct.

	The vagina is an elastic muscular tube about 4 inches (100 mm) long and 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter that connects the [[vulva]] at the outside to the [[cervix]] of the [[uterus]] at the inside. If the woman stands upright, the vaginal tube points in an upward-backward direction and forms an angle of slightly more than 90 degrees with the uterus. The vaginal opening is at the back end of the vulva, behind the opening of the [[urethra]]. The inside of the vagina is usually pink, as with all internal mucous membranes in mammals.

	Length, width and shape of the vagina vary greatly. When a woman gives birth and during sexual intercourse, the vagina widens and lengthens up to 2-3 times. Vaginal lubrication is provided by glands near the vaginal opening and the cervix and also seeps through the vaginal wall (which does not contain any glands).

-	~~{{stub}}~~	+	'''Vaginal Atresia''' is a birth defect or congenital anomality of the female Genitourinary System that manifests itself in the absence of a [[vagina]] (vaginal agenesis), or a deformed and nonfunctional vagina (Vaginal Atresia).
-	'''Vaginal ~~agenesis~~''' is a congenital ~~disorder~~ of the female ~~reproductive tract~~ in ~~which a woman is born either without~~ a vagina or a ~~barely depressed area where the~~ vagina ~~should be present. It occurs in approximately 1 out of every 5,000 births and the cause is currently unknown~~.	+

-	==~~External links~~==	+	It is frequently associated with [[Rokitansky-Mayer-Küster-Hauser]] (RMKH) syndrome, in which the most common result is an absent uterus in conjunction with a deformed or missing vagina, despite the presence of normal ovaries and normal external genitalia.
-	*[http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/~~vaginalagenesis~~.html A Guide to Vaginal Agenesis in Teens]	+
		+	The situation is most urgent where the normal uterovaginal outflow is obstructed. In this case prompt medical action is required.
		+
		+	Vaginal atresia is estimated to occur in 1 in 4000–5000 live female births. It is often unnoticed until adolescence, when pain and a lack of menstrual flow indicates the condition. When a doctor diagnoses Vaginal Atresia, there are numerous remedies based on the exact details of the condition. In some cases, surgery can repair the defect or a new vagina can be fabricated using an intestinal graft.

		+
		+	She is an American ophthalmologist, author and former professional tennis player. In 1975, Richards underwent sex reassignment surgery. She is known for initially being denied entry into the 1976 US Open by the United States Tennis Association, citing an unprecedented women-born-women policy. She disputed the ban, and the New York Supreme Court ruled in her favor in 1977. This was a landmark decision in favor of transsexual rights.
		+
		+	==Early life==
		+
		+	Richards was born in New York City and named Richard Raskind. At six the family moved to Forest Hills. Raskind was ranked among the top-10 Eastern and national juniors in the late 1940s and early 1950s. he was captain of his high school tennis team at the Horace Mann School in New York City, and at fifteen won the Eastern Private Schools Interscholastic singles title. Raskind went to Yale and played on the tennis team first in singles competition and captained the team in 1954. After Yale, Raskind went to medical school at the University of Rochester, then served in the Navy as a Lieutenant Commander. He pursued a career as an eye surgeon, specializing in strabismus (eye misalignment). Raskind reached the final of the men's national 35-and-over tennis championships in 1972.
		+
		+	==Transitioning sex==
		+
		+	In the mid-1960s Raskind traveled in Europe dressed as a woman, intending to go to north Africa to see Georges Burou, a famous gynecological surgeon at Clinique Parc in Casablanca, Morocco, regarding sex reassignment surgery. However, he changed his mind and returned to New York, where he married and fathered one son. Raskind was referred to surgeon Roberto C. Granato, Sr. by Harry Benjamin and in 1975 successfully transitioned.
		+
		+	==Tennis career after transitioning==
		+
		+	As Renée Richards, she subsequently played from 1977 to 1981.[4] She was ranked as high as 20th overall (in February 1979), and her highest ranking at the end of a year was 22nd (in 1977). In her first professional event as a female, she was a finalist in women's doubles (with Betty Ann Stewart, in 1977), and continued to have a successful career afterwards. Her greatest successes on court were reaching the doubles final at the US Open in 1977 with Betty Ann Stuart — the pair lost a close match to Martina Navratilova and Betty Stöve - and winning the 35-and-over women's singles. Richards was twice a semifinalist in mixed doubles (with Ilie Năstase) at the US Open. In 1979, she defeated Nancy Richey for the 35s singles title at the US Open. Richards posted wins over Hana Mandlikova, Sylvia Hanika, Virginia Ruzici, and Pam Shriver.
		+
		+	She later coached Navratilova to two Wimbledon wins and was inducted into the USTA Eastern Tennis Hall of Fame in 2000.
		+
		+	==Regrets==
		+
		+	Dr. Richards has publicly expressed some regrets over her transition and the effects it had on her life and her family's, statements that have generated some criticism from the transsexual community. For whatever reasons, including the sports-based notoriety surrounding her name - combined with the wide dissemination of her photographs - people always seemed to think of Renée as a "transsexual" rather than as a woman. This was unlike the situations that had faced other widely known contemporary postop women such as Christine Jorgensen and April Ashley, who although facing problems of discrimination were nevertheless quite generally thought of and reacted to as women by most folks, even in those early days.
		+
		+	In the end this may have become a major problem for Renée. Or perhaps as the media attention faded and as social, relational, emotional and physical realities set in, her hopes for an unendingly sexy, exciting life as a center of attention faded too. Whatever the reason, her transition failed to meet even her own expectations, and Renée now acknowledges that she wishes that she had NOT undergone a sex change.

		+	He was an Austro-German psychiatrist who wrote Psychopathia Sexualis (1886), a famous study of sexual perversity, and remains well-known for his coinage of the term sadism (after the Marquis de Sade). He also coined the term masochism using the name of a contemporary writer, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, whose partially autobiographical novel Venus in Furs tells of the protagonist's desire to be whipped and enslaved by a beautiful woman.
		+
		+	Baron von Krafft-Ebing was born in Mannheim, Baden, Germany. He was educated in Heidelberg and studied medicine at the University of Heidelberg.
		+
		+	After graduating in medicine and finished his specialization in psychiatry, Krafft-Ebing worked in several asylums. He soon grew disappointed with their workings and decided to pursue a more academic vocation. He subsequently became a professor at Strasbourg, Graz, and Vienna, and a forensic expert at the Austro-Hungarian capital. He popularized psychiatry, giving public lectures on the subject and theatrical demonstrations of the power of hypnotism.

-	{{book-~~stub}}~~	+	Krafft-Ebing wrote and published several articles on psychiatry, but his book Psychopathia Sexualis, full title "Psychopathia Sexualis, with especial reference to the antipathic sexual instinct, a medico-forensic study" ("Psychopathy of Sex"), became his best known work. He wrote the book, intended as a forensic reference for doctors and judges, in high academic tone and in the introduction noted that he had "deliberately chosen a scientific term for the name of the book to discourage lay readers". He also wrote "sections of the book in Latin for the same purpose". Despite this, the book was highly popular with lay readers and it went through many printings and translations.
		+
		+	In the first edition of Psychopathia Sexualis in 1886, Krafft-Ebing divided sexual deviance into four categories:
		+
		+	*paradoxia, sexual desire at the wrong time of life, i.e. childhood or old age
		+	*anesthesia, insufficient desire
		+	*hyperesthesia, excessive desire
		+	*paraesthesia, sexual desire for the wrong goal or object. This included homosexuality (or "contrary sexual desire"), sexual fetishism, sadism, masochism, pederasty and so on.
		+
		+	Krafft-Ebing believed that the sole purpose of sexual desire was procreation, and any form of desire that didn't go towards that ultimate goal was a perversion. [[Rape]], for instance, was an aberrant act, but not a perversion, since pregnancy could result.
		+
		+	Krafft-Ebing saw women as basically sexually passive, and recorded no female sadists or fetishists in his case studies. Behavior that would be classified as masochism in men was categorized as "sexual bondage" in women, which was not a perversion, again because such behavior did not interfere with procreation.
		+
		+	After interviewing many homosexuals, both as his private patients and as a forensic expert, and reading some works in favor of gay rights (male homosexuality had become a criminal offense in Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire by that time; unlike lesbianism, but discrimination against lesbians functioned equally), Krafft-Ebing reached the conclusion that both male and female homosexuals did not suffer from mental illness or perversion (as persistent popular belief held), and became interested in the study of the subject.
		+
		+	Krafft-Ebing elaborated an evolutionist theory considering homosexuality as an anomalous process developed during the gestation of the embryo and fetus, evolving into a sexual inversion of the brain. Some years later, in 1901, he corrected himself in an article published in the "Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen" (Yearbook of Sexual Intermediates), changing the term anomaly to differentiation. But his final conclusions remained forgotten for years, partly because Sigmund Freud's theories captivated the attention of those that considered homosexuality a psychological problem (the majority at the time), and partly because Krafft-Ebing had incurred some enmity from the Austrian Catholic church by associating the desire for sanctity and martyrdom with hysteria and masochism (besides denying the perversity of homosexuals).
		+
		+	Some years later Krafft-Ebing's theory led other specialists on mental studies to reach the same conclusion and to the study of transgenderism (or transsexuality) as another differentiation correctable by means of surgery (rather than by psychiatry or psychology).
		+
		+	Note that most contemporary psychiatrists no longer consider homosexual practices as pathological (as Krafft-Ebing did in his first studies): partly due to new conceptions, and partly due to Krafft-Ebing's own self-correction. The American Psychological Associate removed homosexuality from their reference, the DSM, as a mental disorder in 1973.
