Just a reminder that a phobia is an irrational fear. There is no such thing as "transphobia." Anyone using this word is a liar.
The original definition of 'irrational fear' kind of transformed into 'irrational hatred' in terms of public understanding of the word. So I don't blame people for using the word for that intent. However the definition is being watered down even further. To use the word homophobic instead (because it has been around longer than transphobic), it was wielded as a heavy hitting word against people who publicly hated gays. But faggots are trying to use this word against people for anyone not reacting positive to gay behaviour at all.
For example, a few weeks ago there was a thread about a last of us episode that was primarily about 2 homosexuals (episode 3 if anyone gives a shit). Redditors were complaining that anyone feeling uncomfortable seeing two men kiss or have sex were homophobic. But feeling uncomfortable seeing two men kiss is normal fucking behaviour. The faggots on reddit were labelling anyone with a normal reaction as homophobes (ie someone horrible who hates gays). The more this happens the less the word has meaning as a heavy hitting word. And it will be funny as fuck when nobody cares about these words anymore.
