Worried That You're Transphobic? You Might Be.

If you're worried that you're transphobic, the bad news is that you very well might be. The good news is that self-awareness is more important than a minor case of transphobia, because if you are aware of it, then you can prevent yourself from acting on it – and in addition to some self-regulation, your awareness can help you attempt to make changes.

There are plenty of phobias and isms out there, and most people probably harbor one or more of them. I would guess that almost all of us can take some category of people, stick "phobic" or "ist" after that category name, and claim that label in one way or another. The problem is not so much being able to do that – the problem is not being able to do that.
