Lmao so my original comment got removed by automod because I didn't sensor the t-slur well enough so I'm just gonna change it to "t-slur", but:

Ok honest question. OP says "they may come to interpret transphobia as a trivial issue in general." What actually is an example of transphobia that isn't trivial? Every single example of "transphobia" I've ever seen cited is either trivial or actually homophobia/misogyny. Johns enacting violence on MtF prostitutes is homophobic and misogynistic in origin (often mixed with racism, given the victims are brown or black). Even the t-slur is a homophobic slur used against HSTS instead of necessarily a "transphobic" one. Violence against MtF is because they're associated with being gay men. Sexual violence against FtMs is because they're female. Like what even are legitimate "transphobia" issues.

I guess you could argue if they do not get a job because they are transgender that's transphobia. But on the other hand, i feel like not wanting to work with someone who basically embodies mental illness is reasonable enough to not to employ them. They should really be on disability if they are so mentally unstable that they can not just exist without frankensteining their own body

this is true, and on second thought, i can concede housing discrimination being an issue.

i could concede workplace/employment discrimination in theory, but in practice, given that misgendering is considered a cardinal offense, what employer would invite that HR nightmare into the workplace? how is having such an emotionally fragile employee not damaging to the workplace in general? i can't get onboard with that one.
