Phobia is a strong label meaning irrational fear or hatred. Skepticism of mainstream assumptions does not always involve irrational fear or hatred.

  This. The left loves to redefine words like phobias to weaponize them. They then say anyone who is not welcoming with open arms is x-phobic and lives in fear and hatred of said group and by extension wishes to attack them. It is very possible to disagree with something like homosexuality and simply go about your life. It doesn’t mean you throw stones or spit at them, you just disagree with them. Trans is a little different because the desired outcome is you change your behavior NOT to treat them like everyone else but to treat them according to target identity. So if you choose not to go out of your way to treat them differently, you are phobic. In the past, this wasn’t an issue. You could not believe in mixing races and that simply meant you didn’t date outside your race. You still addressed a black/Hispanic/etc man as sir, woman as m’am, etc. a flat out racist would call the men “boy”, refuse to serve them, whatever. Of course there are people today who will call you a racist for not sleeping with someone outside your race. They redefine racist as any change in behavior based on race instead of the intended idea where your actions deny the person those things they would otherwise have a right to.
