Why is this transphobic? (Update) (self.asklemmy)

So, I posted about not wanting to shave despite my family and the guy I like wanting me to. Someone on another social media platform (I know Lemmy isn't like other social medias sometimes) said that it was because the guy I like was transphobic and saw me as a girl. Is his behavior transphobic for wanting me to shave my private areas and legs? I think it's just a preference...

That;s fair enough, I think he just likes bare skin or more feminine people, but it doesn't mean he sees me as a GIRL
