Even if it was completely serious, it just becomes a dumb statement. Its just showing how everything can be reworded to be presented as a binary choice like this. It doesn’t actually say anything bad about people for identifying any sort of way.
For example, there are a lot of species birds, but they can all be described by the binary choices of: Is Crow, or Not Crow. Still, its very obvious to anyone with a brain that it’s not the most helpful way to classify things.
other people are trying to disprove you about the post content and maybe they are right
but you are absolutely correct about the site getting worse. i reported multiple transphobic comments under this post and elsewhere in the past day. so maybe the post isn’t transphobic but it is giving a place to spew hateful rot
Transphobia on lemmy with 400 upvotes… this website is getting worse every day
It’s pretty obviously a dumb joke.

How, exactly, is this transphobic?
The same way everyone is a fascist, or racist, or a bigot, or whatever else. Other people’s feelings will decide what you are, and you’ll like it.
I’m really curious how you see this as transphobic.
Something something hammer…
Something something nail.
i think the person represented in the op is just being a goofball and not actually transphobic
