Out of all the weaponized modern "bigotry" buzz words that have been stripped of all meaning, transphobia is by far the worst. Other words like racism, sexism, fascism, homophobia, etc don't even come close to inducing the severe eye roll that """transphobia""" does. Maybe there was actual transphobia, at some point in history, once upon a time. But that's not what these these loony troons are describing.

There might be one other contender: acephobia

Because I've literally never heard of anyone being afraid of—or hate—people for not having sex. It seems to be a wholly invented problem. At least trans people manage to be dislikable enough that some people actually hate them. But asexuals have to completely invent their oppression from scratch.

I actually know an asexual who got beat by several of her exes for not ever being "in the mood"

Acephobia is stupid word though. The boyfriends were just abusive.
