This is a fundamentally flawed assumption, and you are imposing your definition of homophobia on EVERYONE ELSE. Maybe you should try looking it up, someone claiming they are not attracted to someone who is TG'd, formerly a male, is not the same as someone who hates and acts out against them in some fashion, not necessarily violent. I have a TG friend, but so what? She flirts with me, she doesn't look terrible or anything, am I attracted to her? No, do I take it in stride, still hang out with her and have fun? Yes. You really need to stop equating people having an opinion on what they like/dislike with a word which you are imagining is somehow all encompassing of any kind of difference of opinion other than complete acceptance/attraction. The only definition of homophobia which may, JUST MAY cover this kind of junk is "Irrational fear", which isn't even the case, because I have no fear of them, I just won't get into a private relationship with them due to my own preferences, much how like I am not particularly attracted to latino women. Am I racist? No.
I am only addressing the part of the post directed at me, for the most part I agree with your posts preaching acceptance, but I'm getting annoyed at this all encompassing view of homophobia which doesn't match any kind of official definition anywhere.
