See, this kind of thing would be fine if they even attempted to explain any of the "correct" answers. The first question is just a semantic issue, and calling someone transphobic for not being on the bleeding edge of social progress is kind of pretentious. Buzzfeed is just doing whatever gets them the most traffic.

Looks like someone is in need to get their privilege checked.

But yeah, this test is obviously a joke since from what it looks like you have to share the extremest of the extreme left views to get the result of not being transphobic.

Also if you look at the comments you can see that there are quite a lot of people who actually think that this test is good. Scary.
