It seems that there was a hearing on Capitol Hill recently where a young professor accused Senator Josh Hawley (R-Rational World) of being transphobic without a whit of reason. Sen Hawley was only asking questions, and the accusation rang out.
What is transphobia? Well, if we go to the dictionary, we learn that a phobia is " an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something". Fair enough. I am neither averse nor afraid of trans people. So, obviously I'm not transphobic. But, I do have questions, just like Senator Hawley does. Our question are based on biology, logic, and the broader philosophical inquiry.
Yet, if I were in that hearing asking questions, I would probably be labeled as transphobic, when according to the meaning of the word, I am no such thing. One would think that a professor from a major university would understand the use of words. I am neither transphobic, nor arachnophobic, although I do seem to trend toward claustrophobic.

When you can't answer questions with logic or common sense, then you degrade to name calling and usually a steadily increasing volume. I know, it used to happen all the time in my family with my #LIBTURD brother-in-law. Once he had unresolved conflicts in his walnut-sized brain, he would just explode in rage.
The Woke world only makes sense to a Woke intoxicated individual. If a person so afflicted has to resort to "common sense" or " Standard logic", they are fo forced to resort to the all-inclusive and meaningless term, "-phobic". None of their world makes sense without voluntary intoxication.
I don't hear trans people, so I'm not phobic about them.
I pity them and how they are destroying themselves in the service of people who don't care about them.
*Fear, not hear
