> Public outcry over the fact that Minio-Paluello is in fact not a mother was immediately deemed “transphobic”, as is to be expected.
Remember, a phobia is an irrational fear. As the last few decades of experience have shown us quite clearly, there is nothing irrational whatsoever about fearing a movement of rabid ideologues who jump to brutal attacks on your reputation, livelihood, property, and sometimes even your person, as a *first* resort rather than a last. Calling the fear that such tactics rightfully instill a "phobia" is an Orwellian abuse of our language, twisting the jargon of psychology to insinuate that there's something wrong with you for being completely normal.
