    Everyone who disagrees with you is a transphobe, according to you

    I disagree with this sentiment, mostly. My own experience is of course that almost everyone has at least some level of transphobia, but I don’t think that’s meant here. And most importantly: I do not think TrickDacy is a transphobe – at least not in any sense that is relevant for this discussion. They have a blind spot where they forget that a joke can be misinterpreted by its viewers, and maybe a little lack of empathy for ignoring that I felt scared by the image’s joke, but it would be unfair calling them a transphobe. Their words did hurt, but not everything that hurts is transphobia.
