Racism is disgusting but transpobia? I don't believe that's hate speech. People can not like something but not wish death on the person or outright hate who they are as a person. People are allowed to dislike certain behaviors. It's not comparable to racism and its definitely not hate speech.
Uhhh...no, that is hate speech. It's in definition damnit.
I'm going down this thread and holy crap did you 180 from normal conversation into downright bigot.
But you do not disagree with someone doing or believing something. By defending transphobia you disagree with someone being one thing or the other. Because transphobia isn't based on disagreeing with what trans people are doing or believe in. It disagrees with their fundamental right to exist and wants to take it away. It's no different from racism or antisemitism.
That's the difference you seem to miss.
transphobia literally = "outright hating who someone is as a person". are you okay???
