There's no such thing as "homophobia" or "transphobia" ❌

A phobia is a recognized medical condition classified as an anxiety disorder. Imagine using an actual medical condition as a slur or insult simply because you refuse to submit to a desperate, radical ideology.

Furthermore, “homophobia” and “transphobia” are not real phobias. They are not recognized in the medical or psychiatric community. The terms themselves are meaningless because no one on earth has ever received a clinical diagnosis of “homophobia” or “transphobia.” These are fabricated concepts.

Even the word “♥♥♥♥” (short for homosexual) has historically been used as a derogatory term toward gay people. Activists have cleverly combined a slur with the suffix of a legitimate medical condition to create loaded political weapons designed solely to silence dissent.

In reality, these are invented terms used to cancel or shut down any opposition. It is a gross misuse of medical language to shield a particular group immersed in delusion and narcissism.

Hope you have an enlightening day!

this talking point is always just weird. like, I mean, okay? so call it hate against trans people then? they're just words that've become common shorthands for garbage being spewed against minorities. it's not like it's the one and only identifier.

also, this is before one actually looks into the meaning of the suffix "-phobia"...

The rebuttal to this is usually "No, the word has other meanings too, like "hydrophobic material" doesn't mean that the material has an anxiety disorder!"

And the counter-argument to that rebuttal is "the r-word has other meanings too, that doesn't mean you can use it as an insult against people"

A phobia is the irrational fear, hatred, disgust or otherwise aversion to something, thus making homophobia and transphobia legitimate terms.

My mind just naturally rejects weaponized or false language. Don't know why this even needs to be talked about, other than as an analysis on normalization and soft power.

People don’t hate trans people; they hate the ones aggressively spreading this nonsense.
Someone struggling with a mental health issue should be helped, not pushed deeper into their delusion.
I’m not going to tell a schizophrenic person it’s okay to treat their hallucinations as real people.

There’s a massive difference.

You say ‘hydrophobic’ materials can’t feel fear, so calling people that is fine.
The r-word also has non-human meanings.
Does that make it okay to use as a slur against people?

You forgot to ask the question: Why?

I am homophobic, personally I am a bit far on the other side of the spectrum, I tend to keep distance towards gay people of the same sex . being close to them , sets off alarm in me. and that's close to definition of homophobic.

Same and absolutely.

I think this is largely a parenting phenomenon.
And as always, it’s just a loud, vocal minority desperately trying to normalize something bizarre.

The same goes for communism.
A perfect recent example: when they asked young Americans whether they’d prefer capitalism or communism, I believe around 33% chose communism.
Name a single country in the entire history of mankind where communism actually worked. Just one.
If brainwashing and grooming aren’t rampant in the US, then I’m the Pope.

People can have phobia of water.
Diseases like rabies not included or maybe included I dunno.

Matter of fact is that people can fear the very essence of life and develop phobias of it so why not of transgenserism and homosexuality?

Sure those terms get thrown around like pie on a birthday and used as ad hominem.
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
