The use of the words “homophobia” and “transphobia” in the face of contrary opinions has been one of the greatest political tools of the last decade. Since many people now get fearful of expressing different opinions on homosexuality and transgenderism, it has given anyone who identifies within these groups more political leverage over the common person. I’m not saying there can’t be genuine cases of these things, but as it stands in many first world nations, what is deemed as “homophobia” and “transphobia” is overblown in order to control other people. It’s because of these concepts, and people wanting to maintain their reputations and livelihoods, are why the entire movement has gotten out of hand.
