I think that's a misprint. It was probably meant to be "trainsphobia". After all, the Swiss love their trains. Make fun of a Swiss train and it's off to jail you go.

Switzerland has voted to make homophobic and transphobic crimes punishable with up to a three year prison sentence.
The National Council voted to criminalise homophobic and transphobic acts, putting it on a par with the way the country treats racism.
The council voted 118 for and 60 against to introduce a prison sentence for homophobia and transphobia.
However, the motion still needs to be passed by the Council of States before it can become law.
National councillor Mathias Reynard, who put forward motion, posted on Twitter on September 25: “National Council accepts my parliamentary initiative against homophobia and transphobia!
“A magnificent success for human rights! Final response in December to the Council of States. # LGBT 🏳️🌈🇨🇭.”
Speaking to Shorlist, Reynard said: “The Swiss Parliament’s decision is great news because it sends the powerful message that homophobia is not an opinion; as for racism, it’s a violation of the law.”

Lock us up, lock us all up.
Clearly impossible, so it will be selectively enforced against those who gripe about the LGBTQetc agenda.
That means it’s not a law, its an excuse for selective abuse of power to control by example.
Satanland.
How gay.
It’s very clearly mean to crack down on any semblance of free speech.
What is transphobia? Fear of moving in a lateral motion?
Do I go to jail if I quote Freddy Mercury? Re Switzerland: “Another one bites the dust.”
Will liberal human rights activists get on this? Nah.
New thought police?

All cultures are equal!
What the hell happened to Switzerland?
The Swiss are not into liberty, apparently.
Thought crime.
It’s about homophobic acts,not speech.
.
First they decide to ditch their time-honored tradition of banking secrecy and now they’re going full fudgepacker? Must be a collective death wish.
Add globul warming deniers and they have a tri-fecta.
That’s why I love American man!
