Phobia is an irrational aversion or fear of something, and it's not irrational to hate queers, after what they've done. Same goes for transphobia. They're both genuine threats, and therefore phobia wouldn't apply to disagreeing to their claims and demands.

This. We need to nuke the "phobia" nonsense, here. It ain't one to want to avoid abusive creeps as much as possible. That's just healthy and prudent.

I am no more transphobic for not wanting to date a trans person than I am arachnophobic for not wanting to date a spider.

The phobia nonsense is also kind of insulting to people who actually have issues with phobias... My aunt has very bad anxiety and OCD and some damn specific genuine phobias, for example of buses and and a specific fast food joint. Her reactions to those things are very extreme and entirely illogical. Putting "phobic" onto everyone who ddisagrees with you is such a fallacy and frankly rude

It's also, dare I say it, invalidating.

And I have also known people with real phobias, which are no joke. Not liking what an asshole someone is, or the body modifications they've done which materially affect the quality of your ability to be attracted to and intimate with them, isn't a phobia, it's discernment + biological reality; a minority sexual orientation isn't some self-torture (abuse, discrimination, tiny dating pools, wholesale slaughter in some cases—I mean who wouldn't want to trade their easier, safer existence for these things?) we woke up one day and decided to put ourselves through.
