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.
