Jared, a transphobe: "I think trans people go against God."
Anyone with common sense: "My fucking god, Jared, how many fucking times do we have to go over this? I understand your hate for trans people, it makes sense, but constantly bringing it up and trying to bring people who want to be the way they are just makes you an asshole. While it may go against your culture or practices, it does not meant everyone must abide to practicing your own culture and practices, just because people are different. Transgender people have a right to practice what they believe, regardless of religion, and to try to use religion against them is pety. I'm sorry, Jared, but I will have to stop hanging out with you if you're constantly going to bring up this bullshit every five seconds. Loosen up for once, will you?"
Jared, a transphobe: "But it's my beliefs! You're attacking me just because I think differently than you, making you a hypocrite to your own claims."
Anyone with common sense: "Of course it's your beliefs, and I specified earlier that I understand your hate for trans people, but to say that trans people go against god or some shit like that is not just a belief, but instead hate speech."
βOh my god why are trans women trying to pee in peace? This is wrong!β
βOh no donβt teach my kid about trans people! It will turn them trans! Just like how teaching kids about geometry turns them into fucking shapes!β

A person that feels uncomfortable and lacks a rational understanding or revulsion of people with transgender people, especially those with a real diagnosis of gender dysphoria (distress caused by the discrepancy between a person's physical gender and their gender identity).
There are as many different transphobic types of people as there are transgender people. Some transphobic individuals have a real fear and negative emotional reaction to transgender people, whereas others have a more outward hatred and rage towards transgender people. Many people who are considered transphobic have had little contact with transgender people and so may act stupidly, make light of the encounter by joking or teasing, or lack political correctness, or make insensitive comments but are not clinically transphobic. Some transphobic people claim it is immoral, social perversion, a ruse for voyeuristic people, or claim it is against their religion to rationalize their transphobic behavior. Many transphobic people can quickly learn more about gender dysphoria and to accept it without responding negatively.
