        Transphobic in the sense it implies that trans women or non-gender conforming people are the result something “wrong” with their upbringing. In this case the lack of a Father figure / broken home. Also potentially implies that a male authority figure presence didn’t “set them to rights” by supplying adequate threat.

        Yeah. Kinda shit.

      Of course. I was just advocating for a kind of equal treatment myself. Growing up without proper parenting/guidance sucks, regardless of the number, gender, or relationship to self of said parent(s). Even “complete” families can (and often do) suck at the job. I’ll never understand the idea conservatives have that just because they’re the child’s parent, they automatically know what’s best for their kids - they usually provably don’t.
