Its impossible to tell if this is meant to be transphobic (aggressively misgendering the third party), or empowering (third party is a controlling self-identifying man).

Edit: this is not an attack on the OP, just a poorly worded observation that the image can be interpreted differently depending on context. Sincerest apologies for any offense.

I don't know you, but you may be over-thinking this. I had no intention of posting something in any way transphobic, to be clear.

[-] CameronDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, of course not, not accusing you of anything, its just an interesting language quirk. Sorry if it felt like an attack.

I'd take it as a reference to the stupid "What is a woman?" craze. Would assume the person shown is trans, or an ally.

[-] CameronDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Based on where we are, I'd assume trans or ally as well, but if it was on twitter, less sure. Its contextual.
