And you have an actual phobia, then shouldn't that phobia give you special rights (in the USA at least) under the Americans with Disabilities Act, if it affects your work at least.


If these things really are 'phobias', then they should be legally protected. Employers should not fire someone for having a mental health condition.

I recall reading in academic literature that there is no evidence that 'homophobia' is an actual phobia. It's just rhetoric, design to insult those who disagree with the LGBT agenda.

I have never understood this phobia idea either. I guess if you disagree with something you have a phobia.

I don't agree with lying, I have a prevariphobic. Arrogantophobic. Governophobic. Ignorantophobia. Mediaphobic. Bidenophobic.........I need to go and rest now!

If a phobia is an irrational fear of something then homophobia or transphobia isn't the correct word to use anyway. Calling it the wrong thing is using reverse psychology to pressure people into acceptance of sin. It's a form a coercion called gaslighting.

I've told LGBT activists, before the acronymn became popular, that they were 'veraphobes'-- afraid of the truth.

Yes, but if an employer calls you a 'phobe' then by their own admission, shouldn't your sociopolitical stance they do not agree with be protected under the ADA (in a US context)?

A phobia is a diagnosable mental health condition. If your employer calls you a phobe then they are practicing psychology without a license. This is unlawful in most states especially for authority figures like your employer.

In order to be protected under the ADA then I think you have to be diagnosed by a licensed professional. Furthermore, your personal medical history is can't be used to discriminate against you.

Does your employer do this?

Do you suffer a phobia of all these phobias?

If you do then you might have phobophobia.

The phobialingo, ismlingo and adding hate to all sorts of words is a swedish thing. A tactic deployed there in 1998 I believe, to end their multicultural/immigration debates once and for all time.So it became illegal to argue that view. Made up by a journalist or someone in academia. This toxic wordstrategy then spread to the rest of the west in the humanities, and a handy tactic of the children of the lie. Then in the 2002 election, swedish public broadcaster used hidden cams to get politicians for racism, which was not racism, in all the acceptable parties. SD was at 2% then. Next election they had 5%, then double at each election since then. That the other parties called racist, and at a point they became the largest party.

People who do not like deviant behavior to be questioned, or criticized, or rejected, use pejorative terms such as transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, etc. when none of these are phobias. "Phobia" means fear. Who's afraid of perversion? No one. But this is a way to intimidate people and put them on the defensive.

Free speech is seriously under attack, and censorship has now become the norm. Those who present or proclaim the truth are immediately attacked, "cancelled", fired, or even assassinated.
