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 hydrophobia ๐ค
Why? Also seems perfectly natural to me.
