december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
I honestly didn't know the Alex Rider (TV) series was a thing until it popped up as a recommendation on my Prime account. Apparently it's an IMDB series or something? My first thought was "f---ing everyone's got a streaming service these days" but apparently since I have Prime I got to watch Alex Rider for free. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, though I loved the books.

Yeah I'm late to this and probably bringing up a thread best left dead, but I don't think she's a transphobe. That implies she's afraid of them. I rather think she's just a bigot and dislikes them unreasonably
It's what it's called
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransphobiaTransphobia is a collection of ideas and phenomena that encompass a range of negative attitudes, feelings or actions towards transgender people or transness in general. Transphobia can include fear, aversion, hatred, violence, anger, or discomfort felt or expressed towards people who do not conform to social gender expectations. It is often expressed alongside homophobic views and hence is often considered an aspect of homophobia. Transphobia is a type of prejudice and discrimination, similar to racism and sexism, and transgender people of color are often subjected to all three forms of discrimination at once.
"Homophobia" and "Transphobia" are widely understood to mean contempt and opposition rather than just fear. The hatred is usually based on some kind of fear, but fear is not the presenting emotion.
One thing I learned in language studies is that words mean what people collectively decide they mean, not what the etymology dictionary says they mean. It's been driving linguists and purists crazy for centuries, but that's the way it is.
"Misotransia?"
Seems like such a short word for 5 syllables.
It's a really hateful term and is understood to be really hateful term by just about everyone who uses it or hears it...it's only when you take it at face value from a truncated dictionary definition that it seems less hateful...but since you're the first person I've ever seen do that I think it's safe to assume that's a very small number of people.
