I guess one could have racist and/ or transphobic opinions without knowing the harm it carries. If a person is black, and they happen to behave in a way you don't like (e.g. smoking weed in a park); you don't go saying "oh this black people do this, not all but some and I hope they didn't do that". There's a generalization you need to avoid, and also their behavior is regardless of the color of their skin. I have removed such comments, only than instead of racism about skin color this was about gender. And I am being too 'liberal' here. Giving you the benefit of doubt. But it's clear to me that if you think they're behaving in that way you dislike because of their gender, then that's just plain transphobia. Next comment that goes in that line, may get a 10-day ban. Discuss Rust, Linux, even Apple Silicon... not the personal decisions and life of a given developer.
