Why this word is great

ENDOSEXISM — [Noun] A system of structural bias that privileges endosex people—those born with sex characteristics considered medically typical—over intersex individuals. From the modern English term endosex (coined from the Greek endo-, meaning "within" or "inner," and sex) + the suffix -ism, denoting a system, principle, or prejudice. Unlike cissexism (which targets transgender people for a perceived misalignment of gender identity and sex assigned at birth) or broad sexism (which denotes discrimination based on gender), endosexism specifically enforces a tyranny of typicality upon the body itself. It is the quiet violence of a non-consensual "corrective" surgery on an infant, the erasing silence of an unmarked box on a birth certificate, and the clinical chill of a pathology assigned to a healthy, different body—a demand that human biology conform to a binary myth, leaving no room for the spectrum that actually exists.
