I hope to the gods old and new that the winkyface means you are actually joking, not "hahah only serious" joking.

    Well, that one's getting a downvote, a user note, and a block.

    "Transphobe" implies fear. There is no fear.

    You have a middle schooler's understanding of the world around you, and that is being unkind to most middle schoolers.

    phobia can also mean aversion, as in hydrophobic.....or an aversion to water.

    Did your parents drop you on your head when you were younger? Or did you have to work to become so ignorant?

    phobia is a persistent, excessive, unrealistic fear of an object, person, animal, activity, or situation. It is a type of anxiety disorder. A person with a phobia either tries to avoid the thing that triggers the fear, or endures it with great anxiety and distress.

    Lol, you do understand that the definition of a word is different from its use as a suffix?

    "The suffix -phobia comes from the Greek word phobos, meaning "fear" or "panic," and is used to form nouns that mean an extreme or irrational fear, aversion, or hatred of a specific thing."

    I don't have an aversion to transvestites, I just feel sad for their pain and wish they could focus on something other than playing dressup (or worse, mangling their hormones and/or genitals)

    When you feel sad for someone's pain you tend to empathize with them, not specifically use hate speech and inflammatory language to hurt them more.

    Can't imagine what it's like to center your life around gender identity. It's like seeing a cripple, you know?

    I bet there's a lot of things you lack the intelligence to imagine.

    I would hug you if I thought it'd heal you.

    I'm a happily married cishet dude. I'm just not a transphobe for the same reason I'm not a racist, because I'm not a braindead Incel fucking loser.

    hydrophobic literally means water-fearing

    Again..... Displaying your ignorance proudly.

    Hydrophiba means fear of water.

    Hydrophobic means aversion, dislike, or repels water

    Suffix -phobic : Biology and Chemistry: Describes organisms or substances that repel or dislike certain conditions (e.g., hydrophobic materials that repel water).

    Right. There is no fear, aversion, or hatred here.

    I don't think I would say you are an authority at understanding the emotions behind the words you lack the ability to comprehend.

    Ridicule has always been a valid strategy to influence a change in behavior.

    Why attempt to change your behaviour if you aren't averse to it? Could it be that you are lying....? Though I would lend you the benefit of the doubt if you claimed you just didn't understand the meaning behind the word averse, you obviously struggle with some disabilities.

    I realize it's fruitless for this specific disorder, however.

    So just for cruelty sake ...... Sounds about right for a racist transphobe Incel.

    The literal greek words mean what they mean.

    When you are speaking Greek...... Not when it's used as part of an English word that modifies the meaning of a noun, then the meaning is dependent on the context. Jesus Christ, who taught you English?

    My "disability" is that English is my second language. Googling "averse" shows "Feeling a clear distaste or turning away from an activity, idea, or situation".

    Me too asshole. If you didn't want to show your ignorance, maybe steer clear of arguments about the language.

    will have you know I had a coworker for a number of years who over time switched from Brandon to Olivia and grew tits, and I never once treated them differently from others.

    I don't believe you. You lack any credibility or sense of decency.

    Because seeing people invest so much energy into such a first world problem as gender identity seems like a terrible use of time and energy to me.

    Seems like a lot more people spend their time attacking it. What is it to you how people spend their time? I think you spend too much time being a moron, I'm not trying to make that illegal.

    No one in particular, picked it up on my own.

    Oh, that makes sense. So your teacher was mentally disabled.

    being an incel (aka involunarily celibate)?

    Just a guess based on your other qualities that no one would ever fuck you.

    I already told you I'm happily married.

    And I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

    Hey, good on you for trying but this guy is not a real person. They don't deserve your engagement or your energy. Whether it's a bot or just someone who should be ostracized from society the response should be the same: silence and/or an ass whooping. Only one is applicable on the Internet though.

    Right. There is no fear, aversion, or hatred here.

    So what is your motivation being antitrans? Because I'm 99% sure if you break down your reasons for being antitrans you're going to end up with fear, aversion or hatred.
