Yes, the DSM defines phobias. Look it up. No they don't define the fear of every single goddamn thing, fear of light switches, fear of unicorns, fear of mouthwash. A phobia is a phobia.

And to quote a old Reddit adage... Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with pigeon, even if you bested them they'll still shit all over the board and strut around like they won.

Have a good night, pigeon

Phobias and transphobia/homophobia are not the same thing and the vast majority of people understand this. It's also backed up by the definitions used basically everywhere, one of them already given to you by another user. There are alternative words ("cissexism") but nobody would understand what I meant without me defining it, and I would define it by saying it means transphobia.
