Let's not call it an 'ism'. Peoples identities can't and shouldn't be reduced to a condition. I doubt anyone intentionally used it that way, but it's a word that's become so entrenched in our vernacular by anti-trans folks that people don't give it much thought when they use it.
People will say "Being transgender is a choice." It's not. Science shows that it's not. Male and Female brains have different structures, and transgender brains more closely resemble the brain of the gender they identify with. Of course, that doesn't matter to the people who claim that transgender is a choice. Because the truth is they aren't interested in the science. They aren't interested in anything, other than their own pre-concieved opinion based on their religious beliefs.
Being transgender isn't a choice. But being a Bigot is. People are going to choose to be bigots because they need someone to hate and look down on because they're worthless excuses for human beings, and they need it to validate themselves.

"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
