Transphobia
Fear, hatred or a belief in the inferiority of trans people or trans identity.
A naïve definition would posit that only hatred or wishing harm on trans people should be considered transphobia, but this fails to cover that an important aspect of bigotry is believing the subject of it to be inferior and therefore deserving of it. Just as it’s racist to believe that black people are inherently less intelligent, even if you don’t necessarily hate them, it’s transphobic to believe that a trans person’s identity is worth less or is less valid that a cis person’s, even if you don’t feel any malice for trans people.
This to me feels like a good definition, even if people scream *phobia about everything nowadays and try to shut down discussion that way.
Why was feddit originally defederated? Was it because of the UK supreme court ruling or something else?
The UK ruling, yes. Blahaj is notorious for quick defederations.
