Long ago we were always encouraged to "speak one's mind", but it now seems that in this once 'Country of the Free' we are no longer free to do so.
/// One of his more concerning posts refers to Paris Lees, Munroe Bergdorf, and Chelsea Manning, three of the world's most celebrated names in transgender rights, as "trannies". The word is now considered extremely derogatory. ///

Anybody care to have a stab for me as to why this chap's comments are considered 'Transphobic'. Phobic is an extreme or irrational fear - he has shown neither, all he has provided is his belief.
However, is anybody really surprised he's been sacked? I'm not.
Any comments about the transgender community that can be perceived as criticism or disagreement (which bizarrely is considered transphobic for some reason) is heresy.
For such a tiny minority they are incredibly loud.

"Phobic is an extreme or irrational fear - he has shown neither, all he has provided is his belief."
It's an example of a misused term being accepted now in its originally misused form. "...phobic" is used constantly to describe not acceptance or disagreement with (xenophobic, Islamaphobic, etc.). People holding those views are not "...phobic". They simply don't accept what's being thrust upon them. It's something that in the UK today people cannot do without attracting a derogatory label (and in this case an incorrect one). It sounds better to call somebody "transphobic" rather than "unreceptive to a viewpoint that they find unacceptable but which amounts to heresy if they say so".
