No. Like you said yourself:

like i support it but i wouldnt date someone like that.
Transphobia means you have a negative attitude towards trans people*. Just because you don't date somebody for their group doesn't mean you have a negative attitude towards their group.

Well just remember that just because you aren't apart of a group or wouldn't date a group, it doesn't directly mean you have a phobia of them.

#

It just means you are more comfortable with one group over another, which is perfectly fine.

Yeah. I could see that but I don’t think enough people realize that just because you aren’t the definition of the community, it doesn’t mean you aren’t apart of the community. What I mean by this is somebody like me, who is straight!
I face questions all the time with assumptions that I can’t be apart of the community just because I’m straight. Which in my opinion isn’t true. I’m not transphobic or homophobic, but I’m also not directly trans or what the definition of LGBT is.
And I think for you, this kind of pertains to you. People think your transphobic because you aren’t pertaining to the definition of being or liking trans in the first place.

Which very much can’t be true literally because transphobia != thinking trans people aren’t attractive.
