I don't want to be transphobic any more. I've wanted to stop eing transphobic for years, in fact. But every time I start looking for help with it, I hit a dead end in so many ways.

1: Somebody tells me I'm not transphobic because I don't hate Trans people. Which I suppose is comforting, but not entirely true.

2: Next, somebody tells me that I AM transphobic, that I'm a malicious, bigoted person, and it's up to me to magically change my opinions.

3: I look for help on a Reddit forum and am instantly attacked for admitting I'm transphobic at all.

4: I look up Google for "How to stop being transphobic" and all I get is pages of the terrible things happening to transexuals, or advice on how to spot transphobia, or support for transexuals faced with Transphobia, but not a jot on how to better myself.

How can anybody stop being transphobic when they're instantly attacked for asking for help?

In that vein, I'd appreciate some help to stop being transphobic.
