It is not a part of their identity that they can't make go away. It may be part of their identity, in the sense that it's something that they think, and anything that they think is part of them, but it is something that they think that they can change.

By saying I don't like the idea, I'm saying that I don't like that they think that, not that I don't like them.

Transphobia is not rooted in ignorance. I realize that people are who they are, and thinking that they are someone/thing else(no offense intended by the thing, I'm just saying that because someone else would be a different person, so something different about them is what I'm saying), is not a reasonable thing to think.

And I have as much a place as you. My being transphobic is not interfering with my part in the conversation. My disliking the idea will not make me deny that it happens.
