Transphobia free content is what I miss most. Ever since the reddit influx, there's been a huge rise in transphobia

It's not so strange is it? It's not like most people feel comfortable around trans people. It took a very long time before even black people were treated normally.

I don't actually like the term phobia either. People are not "irrationally afraid" . They just prefer hanging out with people they are used to.

Weird how nobody ever gets this up in arms over terms like hydrophobic ๐Ÿค”
