Hmm okay. But the I still don’t understand how it is transphobic.

You don’t understand how undermining someone’s gender identity by focusing on them being trans over them being their expressed gender is transphobic?

No.

Fetishizing is also phobic.

Do you see why fetishizing black people for their skin coloris racist? Its similar to that.

I can see that. But that wouldn’t be “negrophobic” either. Not everything negativ in the context of a group is phobia.
