ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Transphobia

Transphobia is when someone has a fear or hatred of people who are transgender. Transgender means someone whose gender is not the same as the gender they were assigned when they were born. Transphobia can take many forms, like teasing, bullying, or even violence. It can also be when someone makes jokes about transgender people or refuses to use their correct name and pronouns. Transphobia is not ok and we should all try to be understanding and respectful of transgender people.
