This page is very concise, well written and informative. The examples such as Fox news emphasizing how the media unfairly portrays transgendered people was especially interesting. However, I believe the page could benefit from more subcategories. A sub-section involving sexual violence against transgendered people perhaps, as this is a pervasive issue as transgendered people become more and more known in larger society. I did note their is a section on "direct violence" however, I think more context or examples of cases would give the reader a better idea of what transphobia can look like. I have also recently read a number of articles involved transphobia in online dating, particularly on tinder, where transgendered individuals have a very hard time finding people that are not transphobic. The impression I got from my reading was that people either fetishize transgendered people or are transphobic, there does not seem to be a large population in between. I think there may be enough information there for a whole other subsection that is very relatable to most people in 2015 where dating apps and online dating seem to be everywhere.
