A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

From what I understand, she's a typical "right wing" Atheist.
She used to be with a youtuber called "Armored Skeptic". (If you know, you know.)
Atheists ended up being seen as right wing after sensitivity became a core requirement to be welcome in left wing discourse.
Completely denying God is Islamophobic, and therefore alt-right.
And while they are usually accepting of the right to transition, Atheists also tend to not see the mind-over-matter style "I think I am female, therefore I am." as meaningful, but instead view the biological influence of hormones and the social effects of behavior and clothing to be what makes a transition go from a desire to a materialized reality.
This is a transphobic way to view transitions, and therefore right wing.
These days, men like Richard Dawkins have very little influence. Atheism (and anti-theism) peaked around 2010, but after gaining a very bad image there are now few who will self-label as an atheist, even fewer will call themselves anti-theists. They'll rather say "I'm not religious", "I'm agnostic", if not declining to answer completely.
Hwat?
Wtf are you smoking
Is it the "denying God means Islamophobia" thing? Its a pretty weak claim in most western contexts, though if you state your disbelief in an Islamic theocracy your head comes off all the same. It would be more accurate to say denying God usually comes with disrespect towards belief, and dislike of harmful beliefs. Feelings Islam becomes a prominent target of as a major religion, and due to its very harmful belief system the dislike tends to be very strong.
So, was that it, or was it something else?
Islamophobia is not right wing. You're mixing it with racism. Transphobia is not right wing, just more common in the right.
I think the whole claim is just plain stupid regardless of the context. In Islamic theocracies atheism would basically be heresy.
Also the claims about transphobia. That has nothing to do with being an atheist and all about being an asshole.
