An irrational negative response to transgender and intersex people, as well as other forms of gender-bending and gender non-conformity. Extreme cases may involve the belief that people with the above conditions are less than human. Often carries that assumption that gender is a natural, rather than learned, condition, and that biological sex is a discrete, immutable trait rather than a collection of characteristics. Related to homophobia.
A trans lady was attacked by a dude with an intense case of transphobia, who claimed that she was really a man and should have expected to be attacked since 'he' was wearing a dress. The newspaper that reported the attack was also transphobic, as they described the lady using her birth name and male pronouns, even though her name and sex have both been legally changed.
The transphobia permeating the media is a contributing factor to the 47% suicide rate among transgender youth.

A refusal to accept the tenets of transgender ideology as defined at this very moment in time - i.e., if you accepted them when it just meant not being mean to trannies but don't accept them now because you think (and can prove) that biological sex exists, then guess what? You're a transphobe!
Used as a (decreasingly less successful) means of silencing people who think that segregating intimate spaces based on sex still has some merit (because babies tend to start falling out of vaginas 9 months after small gamete producing humans stick their wieners in large gamete producing humans and eject said small gametes).

Bob: "I'm going to wear a dress to work and call myself Jemima. Will you call me Jemima?"
Female co-worker: "Of course, I'm a nice person"
Bob: "Will you refer to me in the third person as she/her?"
Female co-worker: "Of course, because I don't want to upset you and I'm quite happy to have a man tell me that I don't know how to use the English language correctly despite having spoken it without incident my entire life"
Bob: "I'd like to start using the women's toilets because I'll feel more comfortable"
Female co-worker: "I'm sure that won't be a problem because your comfort is far more important than any pearl-clutching concerns that us women may have"
Bob: "So you believe that trans women are women?"
Female co-worker: "Well I can't see the cost of me agreeing so of course I think you're a woman in spite of you never having menstruated and being stronger than most women on the planet"
Bob: "I'd like to come on the women-only spa day so that I can sit in the hot tub with my lady cock out in front of all you ladies that don't have cocks"
Female co-worker: "er...of course, because it's a struggle for you being in a room full of semi-naked women whereas us women have no problem being used to serve your fetish...I mean 'helping to affirm your true self'"
Bob: "I'd like to join the women's rugby team that you also play on"
Female co-worker: "I'm not sure that's safe, as I'm 5 foot nothing and you'd flatten me like a pancake"
Bob: "That's Transphobia you terf bitch!"

When someone has nothing better to do but be an asshole and think another is inferior because they dared to be ever so slightly different.

The hatred of people under the transgender umbrella which can include misgendering them, not using their correct pronouns, saying that they cant change their gender (which is different from sex), etc.

Y'all's arguments of it not being a phobia cuz "phobia means fear" is bullshit. Look up the definition of phobia. It is "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something." Aversion means "a strong dislike or disinclination." So y'all just hate trans people, stop trying to use "grammar" to cover it up ya damn terfs.
