Looking at your other comments I think we have different ideas on what transphobia is. In my post I meant that we shouldn't stoop to personal attacks in discussions here. I see transphobia as a dislike of trans people, regardless of whether they believe in areas of the trans ideology we disagree with. So when you said:

I don't understand what is so bad about transphobia

I took that to mean you don't have a problem with hating the actual people as opposed to the views. But I see what you mean. We shouldn't be prevented from raising objections to the ideology itself.

I don't think incivility should be tolerated toward anyone. That includes but is not specific to trans people. Everyone is a unique individual and deserves respect. This should go without saying and doesn't need a special term.

Transphobia is a slur against people who are opposed to trans ideology, but that ideology has many things about it to fear (look at how grotesquely it presents in Iran).
