        I don’t understand how it’s transphobia. When you’re trans you’re just changing from one gender to the other M->F or F->M, right? How does this conflict with thta notion?

          There are non-binary people too. Being bigoted towards them is generally called transphobia, though maybe nb-phobia would be more accurate.

          Edit: also this is usually trying to claim that sex = gender so is transphobic from that perspective as well.

                  is it? Or you’re just making the problem worse

                  Yes and no, respectively.

                  A person should feel good about how [they] was born

                  Ideally, sure, but that’s not always possible and telling people that they’re not allowed to be trans doesn’t stop them from being trans, it only alienates them.
