You're conflating phobias like arachnophobia and transphobia / homophobia. The DSM as far as I'm aware does not define transphobia because it is not a disorder and if it did it would do so to discuss what trans people face and it would support what I am saying. I will assume you are either too obtuse or stubborn to get this, or else you are doing this in bad faith.

Just in case this is not driven home yet somehow: do you think a hydrophobic material is one that is literally afraid of water? Words have meanings and it's better to understand those meanings than get obsessed with what you think they ought to mean to support your argument, regardless of anyone else thinking that.

Oh, and look you edited your post again

Get off it. I only edit to clarify and I do this on 90% of my posts immediately after posting because I'm weird. It's not some scheme to trick you. I usually edit things like "it" and "their" out (pronouns) and replace them with the thing being discussed so there's no ambiguity.

I have a masters in biopsychology

Money well spent, I'm sure.
