Oh well doesn't change much does it?
There is nothing personal about pointing out your support for transphobes. It's just a political fact. If you don't want to be a transphobe, do not support transphobes. Much like if you don't want to be called a neoliberal, don't defend neoliberals, and definitely don't try to claim they're left. You'd get laughed out the room in any offline scenario.
I'm not a transphobe and you have no information on which to base that assumption. If you call everyone a transphobe it ceases to have any meaning and you have nothing left for when someone is being actually transphobic.
You support Starmer. Starmer's labour is transphobic, he has given interviews to mumsnet where he says explicitly terf things. He has explicitly come out in favour of segregating trans people from women's bathrooms and other spaces. You support this. Ergo you are transphobic. The party needs shot of him he's a disgrace.
