sorry why do we call it transphobic
transmisia is probably a better term for hate than -phobic which implies fear or severe anger due to fear.

People are natural truth seekers, but are also selfish/too kind and lie. Most will be swayed by presenting facts and being polite in the face of hate and anger. but name calling, fear mongering, giving someone's account link out on a call put post for ease of access to hurt someone instead of making those problematic people go find the account themselves (reducing the amount of hate cus lazy af ppl), screaming in caps, gatekeeping, etc. — since when has that ever convinced you to say, "wow, I was wrong"? Probably made you say, "wow, these people are nutjobs."
according to google the meaning of phobia is 'an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something' so aversion could also mean disliking or hating something so it works too. sure, educating people who are open to learning and knowing they are wrong is okay but there are mfs who know damn well they are being an asshole and still are not open t......
