Btw, I think homophobic is the apropriate term for this situation.

I don't because we are talking about someone who becomes phobic once discovering someone is trans, right? We're not talking about being phobic of someone once discovering the person is gay, we're talking about being phobic of someone once discovering that they are trans and not cis. As if that makes a difference to how attracted you are when it doesn't, but if you're anti-trans you've certainly going to act like you're no longer attracted even if you are.

I mean, sure, it would be similar to someone who believed they were a hereosexual man and then discovered they were attracted to another man and then suddenly pretended not to be and buried those feelings because they wanted to continue to believe that they were fully straight, as if there's something wrong with suddenly realizing you're partly gay when there isn't. That would be homophobic, and that is analogous to what we're talking about but we're talking about someone discovering someone is trans.

Yes the phobia starts after  finding out that the person is trans but I think it is caused because the cis person doesn't see them as the oposit sex but the same sex thus the homophobia.
But they can stay calm, most cis persons who are atracted to trans persons are straight.

Edit: Anyway, you really got me digging into gender identity. Kudos for that.
