CMV: Being whatever-phobic is fine as long as you don't attack the individual.

Phobic means " a person with an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. " This means that being phobic of something is just being scared of something, so what if someone is scared of a particular group of people? Leave them be. As long as they don't attack them for it, that's fine.

Now I foresee you guys saying "what if they attack or-" I said, as long as they keep their thoughts to themselves. Now, many counterarguments to this work like: "But we must change the mindsets of...." Really? Do you have to change someone's mindset if they leave it to themselves? Heck, someone can not like a group of sexualities and even hate them PERSONALLY, but if they keep it to themselves and not attack them in any sense (verbally, physically, mentally etc.) they are fine and you have no right to intervene in them thinking a certain way.  


EDIT: I definitely learnt something from the comments, and I feel that phobia can be dangerous if you let it get to you in terms of making a decision. There was a very good comment on conscious thought and action, do read that comment. Being phobic in my opinion is still fine, just do not let it get to you in terms of making a decision like saving a life. Lives matter in any sense. For example, I can dislike this man but still save him because I know he doesn't deserve to die.

Would you think it's fine to be silently transphobic if someone were, say, a paramedic refusing to treat a transgender person in medical distress?

Is it fine to just silently never recommend a fat person for hire as a job interviewer because they are fatphobic?

Would it be ok for a police officer to not respond to a call because it came from a gay bar as long as they never said homophobic things out loud?
