Phobia is defined as an irrational fear, dislike, or aversion. Take the word fear out. Someone calling you or your statements transphobic isn’t calling you a scaredy-cat, it’s an attempt to notify you that your beliefs about transgender people don’t appear to be coming a logical, rational, or well-informed place.
Not that I’m accusing you personally of anything, I’m just sick people using the flaccid “but I’m not afraid of them!” argument.
