But I agree, the prick and dickhead were likely as he does see India as a male person. But India IS a male person. And reminds everyone of this on a regular basis.
Personally I would say transphobic would be saying (for example) 'disgusting ******' or something about how India is trans and you disagree with India being trans. Not that India is a male person.

If you'd said India WAS a male person I'd understand but nah this is just pretty ignorant and not really helping, tbh. I get the trans women =/= cis women argument but calling her a male person now just doesn't make sense to me.
Her talking about her past is understandable in explaining the context of what motivated her to transition, but shouldn't give green light to a group of people just calling her a man because they don't like her and she's an annoying housemate. If someone were to get a gastric band and then talk about why they didn't enjoy being fat, and how different they feel now, people wouldn't really still call them fat if they were now of an average shape
I think this series is just giving ignorant people justification to get away with all sorts of insults about transgender people.
