I was afraid of spiders and overcame it alone. Now they are part of the family. I would feel bad if people felt sorry for me, due to my fear or choice... Being a victim doesn't feel good to me

Ok sure. But do you think I should hate you and yell at you and protest against you and throw tomato juice at you because you are afraid of spiders?
If you want to do it, it only demonstrates "your"(sorry) values, not mine. You will have to deal with the consequences. But does anyone do this to transphobes?
Maybe you should change your perspective and accept that any fear is a valid fear. Just like any rejection or religion, or way of being. You like it, or not.
The optical system of spiders is quite complete and I THINK that scientists have not yet been able to understand whether it reacts on instinct, even to capture prey.
We are talking past each other. My post wasn't really about phobias or spiders at all. It was about the modern usage of the modern term "transphobia" and how that clearly either is not actually a phobia, or else the behavior of trans people and their allies towards transphobes is extremely strange and hateful and inappropriate.
It's a phobia, imagine, when you reject something without knowing it, "without experiencing it" it's a phobia.
Any community has a group feeling, once when I "caught" a group at night, I had to get upset, harassment works for both, just like a punch in the face. IN MY reality, there are no victims of this phobia (today), but reality changes. What has changed in recent years, I believe, is the sexualization of identity, and being something extremely "basic at a human level" of course it will create giant problems, people "don't think" or think about sex (as action), and the the frustration of the lack of definition caused "by algorithms" confuses the realities.
our "ego", our "being", being ahead of the collective, is always a problem.
When we spend a lot of time in a promiscuous environment(which accepts you) where opportunities are few, the enemy is "outside" and this is always the case in human reality. There are serious cases of people, who in fact do not accept and reject other humans because of decisions they have made, this is fear, and fear is the worst ally.
