If you don’t like somebody because they are rude or annoying or because of something they have done to you that is one thing. But if you don’t like somebody because of how the look or who they love then you are placing judgment on them over things that they have no control over. This kind of bigotry is what led to slavery and racism and hate crimes and higher suicide rates and all kinds of negative impacts and stains on our society. So dont pretend like it’s a simple case of not liking somebody.A phobia is an irrational fear of something that's unlikely to cause harm. The word itself comes from the Greek word phobos, which means fear or horror. Hydrophobia, for example, literally translates to fear of water. When someone has a phobia, they experience intense fear of a certain object or situation.
So to be trans/homo phobic you would literally be unrationally terrified of them to the point of debilitation. That does not happen to anyone, ever.
We do have trans and homo dislike. We also have white dislike we all see, democrat dislike, republican dislike, religious dislike, atheist dislike, loud and obnoxious people dislike. You can dislike anything, it's a human right to be able to form your own opinion and to like and dislike what you please.
There is nothing wrong with disliking things or people. As long as you don't harm a person, directly cause them undue problems, directly effect their life or try to prevent them from having their rights as American then disliking someone is fine, just keep it to yourself.
Anyone who says they don't dislike anyone is a liar and hypocrite.
So I say, transphobia and homophobia is a lie where wording is used to create alarm and hatred. It's also improper use of the English language used to describe something that isn't at all really and vastly misrepresented people.
Disliking things and people is fine, it's normal, and it's something everyone in the world does.
We have a right to dislike, but people who complain about others who dislike them forget that they do not have a right to not be offended, but they do have a right to decide not be involved with people or things that offend them.
phobic does mean fear and people who are bigots, and racists are being called cowards. You might not feel like it it’s true fear but that’s what the term implies and if I’m being honest, I don’t really care if that is insulting to those that feel that way. I do see them as cowards
