Transphobia is used incorrectly. Phobia in short is a fear but people arent acting scared of trans,but hatred(talking about "transphobes" for lack of better termonology for now) the word needs to change to make sense. Letsmakesense01 (talk) 12:06, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As the article explains (with numerous sources), the meaning of the word is not simply "fear"; similar to homophobia, it encompasses a wide range of negative reactions. English is a complicated language that has evolved over time, and many words have etymologies that result in a meaning that does not match their Latin roots or other ways of dissecting the original meaning of their individual components. ("Inflammable means flammable? What a country!") --Aquillion (talk) 15:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the OP were correct, which I am pretty sure that they already know that they are not, this would not be the correct place to raise it. The word exists and has a well established meaning. There is nothing to be gained from challenging the dictionary to a fight in a parking lot but, for those minded to do so, it needs to be understood that Wikipedia is not the parking lot they are looking for.

Read the definition of phobia. 78.0.183.25 (talk) 18:59, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also look up the Etymological fallacy, which means that just because the term phobia is usually defined as fear does not mean that terms such as homophobia or transphobia can’t be about hatred.--67.70.103.36 (talk) 01:24, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is being used perfectly correctly, and these continual statements that it isn't are flat out wrong, and they are disruptive about getting actual improvements into the article. Is butterfly used correctly? After all, butter cannot fly. If you know the difference between drive and park, then why do you park your car in the driveway, and drive your car on the parkway? Words take their meaning from how they are used, and too-clever-by-half assertions about transphobia meaning something other than what it actually means are a perennial question on this page and a time-waster.

Editors (or trolls) are not going to change the meaning of a word by pointless discussions on Wikipedia talk pages. I call for a 24-month moratorium on any further questions or assertions that transphobia doesn't mean what it obviously means. Such questions should be removed or collapsed as an utter waste of time, and we shouldn't waste another minute on it. Mathglot (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No no, you should be calling for a 24-month hiatus as (according to its Latin roots) a moratorium would only be a postponement, and not a pause. 🙃 –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (💬 • 📝) 23:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh, good one! Je dormirai pas bête ce soir. Thanks for that! Mathglot (talk) 11:18, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
