      My mother in law has no problem with M/M but complains about lesbians (says it’s disgusting) - I then assumed homophobes are bothered more about gays of their own gender in general.

        That’s fair, most people who are loudly anti-gay tend to be male. Mostly because the “loudly anti-gay” group tends to overlap significantly with the "anti-women- group.

          A lot.of anti-gay males are afraid of being treated the way the cis guys treat women as just a sexual object.

        I also see a lot of anti-lesbian stuff from women. Tbh, I see more of it in my own personal life than I do anti-gay men, but that’s just my experience, I don’t know if that’s also the reality (I imagine it varies by area/culture too).

        And yeah I agree with your theory that people seem more bothered about same-sex relations for their own sex.

      “WE DON’T WANT ‘MEN’ IN THE WOMEN’S BATHROOM”

      And FTM transpeople? You’re cool with them using the men’s bathroom?

      “Eff te wat? What are you on about?”

        The JK brand of transphobes don’t even believe they exist as they think trans = “men role-playing in order to abuse women”
