Or did I get it backwards.

In an LGBT online support community I participate in a few participants were purposefully using the wrong pronouns for a trans person in the media who they did not like. When several people pointed out that that's a very transphobic tactic and the discussion got heated the moderator stepped in - and told them to stop throwing around "transphobic" because it is an ad hominem attack that only derails conversation.
