Do you believe that the only harm that is possible is physical harm? Do you think that people are not harmed psychologically by being dehumanized by others?
If I go around spouting all kinds of racist rhetoric, it 100% doesn't matter if in my heart of hearts I'm actually not a racist. I'm normalizing and perpetuating racism by spouting it everywhere. Also, if I didn't hold racist beliefs, I'd have no reason to say racist things.

No, I'm saying it doesn't matter what his reasons are. Transphobic speech and action is harmful, regardless of what one's reasons are for engaging in it. Acting transphobic for the sake of "entertainment" is still acting transphobic.
