It’s relevant if its been used successfully in a court of law to defend a rape they commited. Or the individual in question has used being trans to excuse non consensual sexual deviance. This is a discussion about an individual not a group. Nuance and context are important. Also, don’t you think this individual would want at least those two labels applied to them? Wouldn’t including them be respectful of their wishes/identity? If expressing this text makes you think I’m a hateful transphobe you should definitely block me.
this is a type of bigotry too though… “grow a pair” bro are you even real? How do you not see that type of language or “rhetoric” as equally derisive as the “lumping in”? Can’t both statements be harmful (exclusive/reductive) for different reasons?
“Grow a pair” is often interpreted as a suggestion that stupid or neglected people should go punch trees, which has likely rarely helped anyone understand sensitive issues any better, to actually follow through on such types of “advice”
it’s in the same ballpark as “get a life”, “whatever”, or more harsh ridicules like “F-off or direct suggestions that someone should harm themselves intentionally, presumably on behalf of the anguishing speaker, just applied to a different audience, depending on what type of reaction is desired to be invoked by the exclamation of emotion.

Cope harder, transphobe.
If you’re gonna do it and defend it, grow a pair and own up to it. 😒

Will you admit that you’re dementophobic?
Apologize now.
You give anyone applying that label with genuine cause a bad name and weaken its meaning.
Genuinely lump trans people in with rapists (etc.) for the cause of hating them all you want. Just grow a pair and own it, dude.
How can I become not a transphobe? is transitioning my language the best way?
