A few years back a known guy from a game I play said something similar on twitter. Though he said it was specifically because he has had only bad experiences with transfolk so as a result he's now literally scared of them/instantly gets a bad feeling interacting with a transperson.

Sooo many people cancelled him for it but I never saw the issue, you don't control your fears and if anything it's just confusing that we use the suffix -phobia for bigotry but in some cases it's a literal phobia. If you interact only a few times with members of a small group and it's always negative you're almost guaranteed to end up with that reaction, and no one but the person themself can know how bad the fear is.
