Hello Folks,

This is what Wikipedia writes about transphobia.  I am not transphobic.  Jane

"Transphobia is a collection of ideas and phenomena that encompass a range of negative attitudes, feelings, or actions towards transgender people or transness in general. Transphobia can include fear, aversion, hatred, violence or anger towards people who do not conform to social gender expectations.[1][2] It is often expressed alongside homophobic views and hence is often considered an aspect of homophobia.[3][4] Transphobia is a type of prejudice and discrimination, similar to racism and sexism,[5][page needed] and transgender people of color are often subjected to all three forms of discrimination at once.[6] "
