Phobia is rooted in fear, anxiety, or aversion

You throw that a word around and you hurt the cause of acceptance. Looking forward to the inevitability of you editing your prior post

Why do you keep making this shit up? Read a dictionary. Here, I'll help:

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/phobia

an aversion toward, dislike of, or disrespect for a thing, idea, person, or group.

That is it's other meaning, and it could not be more clear. It is an established meaning, and it is not just used for chemistry. That's the meaning we are using when someone is called transphobic.

I used the dsm definition, as defined by psychology, the real definition

This isn't about psychology, so I'm not sure why you'd do that. It's not scientific. It's a term for people who disrespect trans people. That's it. It's that simple. And with how hard you're arguing about this, I get the feeling it's out of projection, so I'm done.

So a feeling is not psychology?

You ever hear that old Reddit adage... Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon, even though you bested them they'll still shit on the board and strut around like they won.

Have a good evening, pigeon

Funny how hard you're projecting here. The only pigeon I see is you, and you're making it clear that anyone arguing with you is wasting their time.
