The word "transphobia" doesn't mean the same thing to TRAs vs GCs. The original definition of "irrational fear & disgust" has been hijacked by TRAs the same way they hijacked the meaning of the word "woman". How many of us roll our eyes when accused of transphobia?
It seems en vogue these days to talk about "my truth". What point does the word "truth" even have when everyone has one? Irony aside, here is how I understand the word "transphobic". It says more about the person calling the other transphobic than the alleged transphobe.
A TRA accusing others of transphobia is a) resorting to a thought ending cliché of the lowest order b) signaling that their narcissistic interests supercede any other potentially reasonable consideration, c) a result of either stupidity, or willful blindness, or both.
Receiving an accusation of transphobia is strangely enough a badge of honor. It means a TRA was triggered, & that you have the courage to confront bullies by simply asserting reality. Ex: biological sex is binary & immutable, a woman is an adult human female.
I never would have imagined it would be considered hateful and "transphobic" to think men cannot become women and vice versa. It is throwing biology, epistemology, and logic straight into the trash.
Ultimately, we are far from people that have overt irrational hatred and disgust of trans people. This being said, seeing some monstrous transwomen exposing their mind cancer makes me feel profound contempt for them. And I start hating them for being so damn stupid and selfish.
When I saw Veronica Poison Ivy on Trevor Noah's show, I wanted to scream. If you don't peak watching that... When I saw that smug fuck talking about the dictionary definition of transphobia, I thought to myself: "we're doing dictionary definitions now?"
We all know TRAs will unironically accuse us of being bigots, fascists, nazis, homophobes, transphobes, & misogynists at the drop of a hat. They don't realize that they dilute & denatured the meaning of all of those words the same way they did to the words woman, lesbian, gay.
The irony is obviously lost on them that they are a) the hateful, and bigoted protofascists we know them to be b) projecting everything idiotically onto us and c) acting in a way that may justify a certain amount of the dislike & contempt people develop for them.
In spite of it all, to all those of you who do make those distasteful "fourty one percent" jokes & memes, please stop making them, they make us all look bad. It's bad enough how badly mentally ill many online TRAs appear to be, jokes about suicidality don't help.
It is difficult to prove to TRAs that we have no hatred in our hearts for gender non conforming people at large. And ultimately it isn't your gender non conformity that bothers us, it is simply your stupid interpretation of reality.
Transphobia = having a profound aversion to stupidity & narcissism. Tadaa.
I am transphobic. #WizardMicDrop

Are transwomen women? Of course not! But let's discuss this.
Why are we even in this mess? What happened that the definition had been stable as "adult human female" since the dawn of time across all cultures but suddenly something had shifted, prompting inevitable change?
A pernicious ideology emerged inspired by the tenets of post modernism according to which words create reality rather than describe it. TRAs believe that declaring someone or themselves a woman is a performative act that actually makes it happen.
The word woman isn't clear, they say, because "adult" has different meanings in different places. Do you mean 18 or over? 21 or over? Or after menarche (onset of first period). Human is the least controversial of the three words.
