The reason TB probably called it transphobic was because of the sheer number of people who seem to conflate traps with transgender people, so the joke could have and probably did make a lot of people uncomfortable

Though I don't agree with his reaction

If you don't want it labeled gay because it's an insult, wouldn't that be demeaning to homosexuals?

People who fit the trap description don't call themselves traps, because it's almost universally seen as a demeaning term

And also, it's used against transgender people a lot
