Transphobia is the fear or hatred of those who are transsexual, transgender, or otherwise gender-non-conforming. Transphobia manifests in various ways, including (but not limited to) legal discrimination, violence, bullying, corrective rape, murder, infantilization, sexualization, fearmongering, and forced detransition.

Transgender people are at higher risks of being victims of violence in public spaces, of being discriminated in housing or in the work force, and of being treated as outcasts.

Certain governments in the world are against the existance of transgender people, focusing efforts on attacking our rights instead of doing something productive. Unfortunately, there are many people who would rather see the death, detransition, and discrimination of the transgender community. There are people who are painfully close-minded who feel like the existance of someone slightly different from them is grounds for murder and medical discrimination.
