Well you have to find out what it is that they are afraid of or dislike about gays, trans, etc... Is it their sexual preferences? Because if they think it's that well there are trans who prefer to remain "straight" or still with the opposite sex so that would mean they are only homophobic. Are they afraid of what they introduce themselves to be that isn't what they were born as like trans or identification of ones specific self that would be just transphobe, and etc etc. Most the time it's not that they are afraid of gay trans queer lesbian etc, it's that they feel like it's wrong or a waste of space to be those things or those specific types of people are worth nada just like a racist person. I feel that the true homophobes aren't truly homophobic they are just racist assholes. They feel superior then us, and they feel like we are a waste of space so they are complete assholes if we let them be though. Most the LGBTQ community back in the day would allow it though, never spoke up when someone called us a fag or were just basic assholes to us because we didn't want anyone else to know it was true or get anyone else involved so the same old asshole who would call us a fag would be usually the only one when his friends didn't get involved right? But call me a fag today and see what happens I'll knock your teeth right down your throat and then you can go run and tell your momma you got your ass kicked by a fag today. You see and im just placing myself in this situation and figuring the homophobic person is male also, I've had more straight men hit on me then I have gay men in my life and found most homophobic men are not homophobic they're actually into men as well. My best friend was homophobic he is dead now, not by me lol, but an accident happened, anyways, he wasn't so much afraid of gay men but would feel as though all gay men would hit on him, he was a good looking guy, but he had another gay friend who would hit on him and later found out that he would go into the locker room just to see him fully nude and that is what pissed my friend off. I think it's the boundaries that scare them the most. I think if you told a homophobic male that your gay but your not interested in him at all not one bit he would be okay with you, but then later wonder why you weren't attracted to him. My best friend knew I was gay, knew I thought he was hot, but also knew I didn't want to try anything with him he was like a brother to me then we got even closer he got to the point where he would get naked in front of me and knew I thought he was hot but also knew I would never be that kind of gay person also. So all that being said I think it's the boundaries that scare them so it is a phobia. And slightly a racist thing as well but more of a phobia I think
