Irrational fear of, aversion to, or
discrimination against
homosexuality or homosexuals by transgender individuals (transgender men or transgender women or a transgender person of any other gender, preferred identity/pronoun, or sex). This can often be displayed in many forms. Although transphobia and homophobia are similar, they’re not the same. Both gay and straight people can be transphobic just like transgender people can be homophobic or
heterophobic or both.
Transhomophobia can take many different forms, including negative attitudes and beliefs about, aversion to, or prejudice against bisexual, lesbian, and gay people. They sometimes may
invade biological gay male only spaces (for "cis gay men" only) or biological lesbian only spaces (for "cis lesbians" only). It’s often based in irrational fear and misunderstanding. Some people’s transhomophobia may be rooted in left wing or liberal beliefs. Transgender people may hold homophobic beliefs if they were taught them by parents and families, but more commonly is taught by their culture and inclusion.
