DiscussionCan we just redefine "transphobia" the way they redefine words for their own purpose?

submitted by JohnWhyGay Man from self.LGBDropTheT

The postmodernist activists cheat by redefining every word to suit their own purpose and rigging the game from the start. I'd say the word "woman" is the next on the chopping block, but they can't seem to define that one at all...

Can't we just redefine "transphobia" as the rational and justified fear of harmful gender ideology. Claim the term for ourselves as a badge of pride.

Normally I'm very much against such things as redefining well-established terms to fit a personally imagined reality, but the word "transphobia" is such a newly made-up nonsense word with little value in any case. Very few of us actually fears or hates trans people. We mainly just disagree with the current radical gender ideology that is taken as gospel nowadays.

I mean... you get called transphobic for breathing whilst homosexual.

Either the word is used when it doesn't apply.

Or the word really refers to a person who won't undergo conversion therapy for the whims of strangers. In which case the word has no weight behind it since it applies to everyone.

How about a circular definition? Like transphobe: anyone who identifies as transphobe. So if I say "I am not a transphobe" therefore I'm not one. The end.

Transphobia = Refusal to submit to anything a trans person demands

That seems to me to be the accurate functional definition.

Transphobia = Refusal to kneel before the priests.

Transphobia will lose it's power when more people wake up to the fact it doesn't really mean anything. Unfortunately that probably won't happen until there's a sustained campaign calling straight men transphobic for not dating men in dresses.

Honestly, I don't think we even need to redefine it. They're doing the work for us by alienating all sensible people and then crying transphobia. Anyone who has been on the receiving end of this behavior knows that it doesn't hold much weight and does not inherently mean that the accused wants to genocide trans individuals.
