Without context, that comment sounds ok to me?
Maybe you need the context of all the transphobic shit that’s happened lately, like the Olympics boxing stuff? Idk, it still seems transphobic without context. No clue who this guy is though
Lead Lemmy dev
The context is they're positively stating the "men in women's sports" part of that exchange.

Here’s the context https://lemmy.ca/comment/10767763
Okay. I'll remember you're a transphobe for later.
You know trans people as oppressed people are allies against our oppressors, right? Not granting them personhood benefits the bourgeoisie
You're not contextualizing reasonably here. The bourgeoisie in his context meaning, the capitalist class. It is just a comment about how it has tilted to fashionable to support LGBT. That is a reasonable statement. Participation in events is a controversial subject for many. Personally I believe gendered sports should be entirely eliminated in favor of singular combined competition of humans, but I'm a giant dude that loves cycling, where a little woman could have a real advantage over someone like me. I find sports that lack such diverse nuance somewhat outdated.
Many might not see the two party system of the USA as what it presents itself as internally. It is not hard to say, this is a one party system that wears two masks and be entirely uninterested in which clown color mask faces forward at the moment.
I see indifference. I see neutrality. I don't see two sides of a conversation with transparency that qualifies the accusation friend. Feel free to post with transparency though.
