Define "transphobia" first.

The term transphobia does get thrown around a lot so I should probably be clear that I mean real transphobia. Actually dehumanising people and going after them for who they are and not what they say/believe.

I absolutely think that we shouldn't let baseless accusations of transphobia shut down discussions though - if that's what you were thinking.

But what if you are legitimately afraid of an idea that, in Iran at least, compels homosexuals to have genital surgery because homosexuality is punished by hanging, while the state pays for sex changes? That's a frightening ideology. Remember The Gendercator? That lesbian filmmaker saw all of this coming years ago.

I'm naziphobic. Is that a hateful thing? Some ideas are just scary.
