Transphobia is a term for discrimination against both transgender people and people of other genders aside from male and female. This can include people that are nonbinary, bigender, agender and more.
A transphobe is someone who has a hatred or fear of transgender people, often caused by lack of education, generalised fear and important people in their lives being transphobic. Many transphobes believe that their behaviours are acceptable in terms of discrimination, due to repeating the behaviour they had obtained from their family and/or friends.
Some transphobes use unrealistic hypotheticals to make their morals seem justified, which may also aid in people becoming transphobic. Transphobes can be any age.
Some people may be transphobic due to fear, such as children having their genitalia removed, and men being perverted in female bathrooms.
If you have these beliefs, then perhaps it can be assuring to know the following:
-Transgender people seeking gender reassignment surgery must be over the age of 18 to have the surgery.
-Very few, if any, transgender woman are just transgender to be perverted. It may still happen, but they are nowhere near the majority.
Examples of transphobia:
1)
Person: I think I may be transgender, but I haven't told anybody yet. I'm sorry for dumping this on you by the way.
Transphobe: Being transgender is unnatural. You should seek help and stop being delusional.
2)
Person: What pronouns do you prefer?
Transphobe: Pronouns are for trans people, I'm not trans.
Person: Both cisgender and transgender people have pronouns. A cis man may go by he/him, and a cis woman may go by she/her. Pronouns aren't a trans invention.
Transphobe: Oh, I see. My pronouns are attack/helicopter then XD
Person: I don't know why I started a conversation with you, honestly.
3)
Transphobe: Why are men trying to invade our bathrooms?
Person: ...are you talking about trans women? Not many people are trans just to be perverts. I even know that a lot of them feel uncomfortable being in the female bathroom due to making people uncomfortable. They just want to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity.
Transphobe: Gender identity?
Person: Yeah. Anyone can have gender identities. Cisgender people just have a gender identity that matches to their assigned gender at birth.
Transphobe: I don't understand, but I will google it later. Thanks though :D
Person: No problem :D

1. Non insane person, capable of distinguishing a boy from a girl, who opposes the "human right" of men cosplaying as women to prance into womens' loos and locker rooms and waiver their erections around in 9-year old girls' faces.
2. Not a sociopath--a decent human-being who believe it is morally wrong to sterilize pre-pubescent children and/or slice the breasts/penises off of young teenagers.
1. "Sorry Dave--I don't believe you have a 'human right" to follow my pre-teen daughter into the ladies' locker room and show her your hard penis."
'You goddamn transphobe!"
2. "Hey Fred--do you want to help me trans your son I can get you a price break if you want to have his penis chopped off."
"Dan--he's 11 years old--maybe later."
"You goddamn transphobe!"
