phobia can also mean irrational oppose to something

direct from google: "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something." so when someone says homophobia they refer to an irrational aversion to homosexuals
But it's still accurate
People hate us because they are afraid of change and afraid of losing their ability to control the social construct that is gender

incorrect, it is defined as an irrational fear or aversion
HELLO, LGBTQ STREAM
I'VE COME TO CLARIFY SOMETHING
HOMOPHOBIA WOULD MEAN THAT SOMEONE IS SCARED OF GAY/LESBIAN PEOPLE
YOU SEE, "PHOBIA" MEANS AN IRRATIONAL FEAR OF SOMETHING
AND HOMOPHOBIA IS JUST VIEWED AS NOT LIKING GAY PEOPLE
HOMO + PHOBIA WOULD MEAN THE IRRATIONAL FEAR OF EITHER THE HUMAN EVOLUTIONARY LINE OR GAY PEOPLE
THERE'S YOUR CLARIFICATION, NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE
