"-phobic: having an intolerance or aversion for"

It is a slur that carry the transphobic intent of the writer.

In the same way that ethnic slurs are not themselves ethnic and religious slurs are not themselves religious but convey pejorative, derogatory and insulting messages towards the targeted populations.
