I think that you hit a key note here: it's a crossover meme from other spaces. They're not Linux memes. I do get the joke, and why you make it, and I understand the concept of intersectional solidarity, and that it's a good thing.

I also think that when people who have been marginalized for a long time find spaces that accept them, tend to treat any space that accepts them as a space made "for" them and their issues, when really Linux has nothing to do with what's in my pants or yours or anyones. Linux isn't a men's thing, or a women's thing, or about gender at all.

I (don't) appreciate the fact that instead of empathizing and trying to address my concerns, you're telling me I'm overthinking it, and explaining it to me like I wouldn't understand the concepts of let's see, the meme itself, capitalism, socialism, and FOSS software.

It's a joke, yeah, I get it, but jokes are supposed to be funny and instead this one is using harmful language about trans people and FOSS software. Stop. And don't act like anyone who doesn't agree with you just doesn't get it.
