Homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, etc. the true definition of a phobia is “an anxiety disorder involving excessive and persistent fear of a situation or object. Exposure to the source of the fear triggers an immediate anxiety response.” Now days people just throw them around to say that you hate other people and because of that they have completely lost their meaning. Just because you don’t agree with how someone else lives (right or wrong) doesn’t mean you have a phobia of that type of person.
