It's not transphobic to refuse to believe the bizarre accusations of a random internet commenter when I cannot see any evidence whatsoever to back up your random ramblings.
Also it is not transphobic not to recognise 'they/them'/gender non-binariness. 'Transphobic', as the term implies, relates to transgender/transsexual. 'Trans' is a latin term. It essentially means 'across'. It refers to people that transition from one gender to the other gender. There are just two. This is the entire point of the concept of transgender: that there are just two of them.
This has become a 'controversial' thing to say in the US, but almost nowhere else is it even remotely controversial. It is blindingly obvious. And it has nothing to do with 'transphobia'. It would be 'transphobic' to say that a man can't become a woman.
I don't care if you label me as transphobic to say that a man can't become a woman. A man, after all, cannot become a woman. I do care if you label me as transphobic for referring to as a bloke a bloke who clearly presents himself as a bloke, acts like a bloke, and is a bloke, on every level, and who doesn't indicate in any of his bios on Linkedin, Twitter, his own website or apparently anywhere else that he should be referred to in any other way. Apparently this is just some secret knowledge that you have acquired. You've told me it, but why should I believe you? You're a random commenter on the bloody internet. You simply are not a reliable source in any way. And if I don't believe your random claim, for which you have provided no evidence, I am 'transphobic'? Fuck. Right. Off.
