Narcissism is a very primitive personality construct - toddler-age-ish. How well can a toddler tolerate ambiguity, nuance, anything that is "non-binary" - not well! It's all either/or, good/bad, dark/light, etc. These narcissists fancy themselves as brilliant and when they cannot comprehend shades or degrees of distinction, they lash out…

I think the transphobics are a bit different from the gay-phobics, the latter group having been studied and often found to react strongly with arousal to homoerotic imagery ... "repressed" or "latent" gayness ... And one can be gay but be transphobic, or vice versa. Trans stuff is more about gender and how upsetting people seem to be when they can't "tell" if someone is male or female - or heaven-forfend, "non-binary" - Homophobia is more about "sex." Grossly oversimplifying but something to think about. ☮️
“If you don’t like gay sex, don’t have any.” This was a saying in the mid-80’s at least. That message seems to have spread through lots (but not nearly enough) people. It would be a good thing if the same concept were brought to transsexuality. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. Don’t like thinking about it? Think about how you might be able to plant 2 more roses in your yard. Or bake a peach cobbler.

I like "mind your own business!"
I Wished I Had “Turned Gay” in my early 20’s! ;)
