It's interesting because a friend shared a story on FB recently with a headline about EP receiving "transphobic hate" on Twitter. Now I know some women have definitely said things that could be construed as transphobic but the example they gave was literally someone saying "Well I guess I'm glad they're happy but I feel so sad that we've lost another lesbian". How tf is that transphobic?

I don't think EP owes it to lesbiankind to maintain a female identity if this really matters to her. But expressing sadness about her not being a lesbian any more isn't transphobic or hateful. Nobody ever said people are full of homophobic hate if they express disappointment that a star who comes out is now "off the market" for their fantasies.
