Something people always use to reject criticism of whatever subject it is. It means that people have an irrational fear or hatred of something. Legitimate uses of -phobia would be saying a person that fears spiders is arachnophobia, or arachnophobic for a person specifically scared of spiders. However, calling someone transphobic because they believe transgenderism is a mental disease is NOT accurate. For example, calling me an autistophobic because I believe autism is a mental disease or OCDphobic because I believe OCD is a mental disease are clearly not accurate.
Often in media, -phobia, such as islamophobia, is used to vilify people that are critical of a belief, theory, or fact. This is inaccurate, as a correct example would be “He is homophobic, meaning that he is hateful towards homosexuals.”
