Transphobes
(noun)
“Transphobes” refer to people who hold and act upon transphobic, or anti-trans beliefs. Transphobia is the dislike or strong prejudice against transgender and nonbinary people. Transphobes may engage in harassment or discrimination that actively harms transgender and nonbinary individuals’ physical or mental health (Source).
Examples: River tries to avoid Yessi and Elena in the hallways at school because they often call them transphobic slurs like "shemale" and "tranny." Teachers at school do not always know what to say when they hear this, because they're not used to calling out transphobic terms like that.
