Its not a phobia like when you freak out because you see a spider.... encountering a trans person its more like when you walk barefooted on a beach enjoying the weather and suddenly you step in a warm heap of shit left by a giant dog. You look for the owner of the dog and when you find him and ask him to clean up the heap of shit so there will be no more victims, he goes ranting on about how he and his dog has the right to shit were ever he wants, begins screaming about discrimination and bigots, he explains the need for him to be be around children to teach them to shit everywhere and force feed them laxatives while touching himself......so after a minute you walk to you car and get your hunting rifle to put the beast out of his misery and get the giant dog a responsible owner.
