We should only be concerned about those who don't let all kinds of different people exist.

We should rename homophobia or transphobia to "Judgingthatdiscriminates"

Because that's often what it is. It's not people seeing a homosexual going "HELP!! IT'S A TRANS Person! RUN!!"

Or "I HATE TRANS! I HATE TRANS" protests chasing after trans people with fire and chop sticks.

It's. The favourite teacher who always compliments her students. The expert surgeon who has saved thousands of lives. The everyday polite office worker. The mom bestie. The children's book worldwide famous author.

And the same good people say: "Others are transphobic, but not me, I'm just concerned / disliking / dissaporoving / against / not a fan of / having some opinions"

I can have so many things in common with people and they can have hundreds of good qualities that I look up to, but then they are discriminating and fearing an entire group of people who had fought for centuries to be able to exist and be respected just like you and me.

And those concerns, dislikes, or opinions, are in fact, discriminating a group of people who whether or not you understand it, exists like the rest of us.

That is what transphobia and homophobia is. Now I know some will feel targeted, I'm not here to judge. I'm here to inform. According to my experience most transphobia is just misinformation. Someone have been told rumors or made up stats and it made them fear /judge the trans community.

You don't have to do that anymore.

No such thing as bad publicity.
The more people talk about LGBT, especially T, the more used to it people become and less likely they are to try to fight it.

People often point to sports or about kids transitioning when they try to justify their hatred of trans.

First, how come it is always the out of shape women who whine about TG women in women's sports? Not like they are going to be competing anyways. My ex room mate's mom does this. At 350+ pounds, I do not think she is an athlete who's gold metal might be stolen by a transwoman athlete.

Second, why are some people thinking or worrying about what other peoples' kids do?

Maybe. At least it helps those who truly just were confused but mean well and are willing to change their old stance. But on the full blown transphobic people, it just scares them even more , which provokes and makes them hate even more and so they harass more, try to silence you or they completely avoid the topic whenever their arguments are showing what we all see, fear, predjucies, negative assumptions.
