Which you can learn from further research on the term! I don't mean to be rude but xenophobia is usually based on nationality, skin color, religion, language, etc. It's a phobia based on difference yes, but more like cultural prejudices. It has nothing to do with gender or gender expression. Because being labelled as non-binary/genderfluid is something quite new and not being recognised enough yet, phobia against nb people has not been named yet. I get why it's confusing. Some call it transphobia, but again, not every nb people consider themselves trans or don't want to appropriate trans issues while using the word. Some others talk about enbyphobia. In the end we all understand that it's a specific phobia that needs to be addressed as such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today years old me would agree again. It's a journey, to each their own. Sadly, not everybody is willing to deconstruct what they've been told and believed their whole life.

If you do further research on the term, you should find it extends beyond just culture/race ♥ Kindness Police. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
