I’m not stupid, I know it means “fear of.” Do you think Homophobes are “afraid” of gay people? What abiut transphobes? In the context of bigotry, phobia is used to refer to invalidating or undermining ones sexuality, gender identity, etc.
Literally talk to a trans person, or just read through that thread, it isn’t difficult.

Yes.
Also yes.
That is the outcome of the irrational fear people feel towards those people.
Someone attracted to trans people because they are trans would be transphilic, not transphobic.
