A big part of society are transphobic but they think they aren't as long as they don't physically attack trans people

I've noticed that a large amount of people are pushing transphobic views but they claim it's not transphobic and that it is to help.

The true intention is probably to help, but fact is its transphobia to be against trans rights. Such rights as if your teenage child say they are trans, you dismissing it as a phase or immaturity, is transphobic. Whether you like it or not. It's classified as transphobic.

Think about it. Why would anyone feel good about their family or friends or strangers online minimizing their identity and their decision in who they are? They are the ones to decide about their body and who they are. Not you, not me, not their classmates, partner, siblings, parents, teachers, therapists. No one else but themselves decide over their body.

To respect that also automatically teaches kids that no one can claim their bodies or want something with their bodies. So if you wanna prevent grooming and predators, respect your kids identity, take them seriously, respect your kids. They're humans too.

I believe everyone is entitled to live in whichever way makes them feel happy. Providing it isn't harming anyone else.
Now everyone is entitled to an opinion. No-one has to agree with it.
I do however think that the world has gone completely mad regarding the trans community, different genders etc.
Biologically, if you're born as either a male or female you are still biologically either that, male or female.
If people choose to live as the opposite sex then fine, that's entirely their choice and they should do what makes them happy.
There is though only two genders.
People's sexuality is their business.
I find both men and women attractive but choose to be heterosexual. It's a choice.
People's attitudes are divided, how many handle things can be questionable and not always very PC.
Hate is never acceptable, and my belief is no-one should force their views, but still be accepting of how others wish to live, if it isn't harming anyone else.

Nobody's disputing that, you're shadow-boxing with an imaginary sex-denier. What transgender people are changing is their gender, as implied by the structure of the word.
