I understand what you’re saying. There’s some degree of internalized transphobia that many trans people experience, themselves. More trans people around will mean that others will interact with them more and realize that they’re just normal people. Your point here that aversion to trans people is not transphobia is the same argument that homophobes have made for decades. A phobia is not just an irrational panic-inducing fear. Your point here is just pedantic and wrong.
What we don’t need on Lemmy is to have posts and comments that make trans people feel like they aren’t welcome or feel like they’re different for just expressing themselves authentically.
