    transgenderism

    At risk of going slightly off topic, trans people aren’t an -ism. It’s not an ideology, though transphobes love to frame it that way (not saying you are).

      Yeah I was trying to summarize in a word how the linked comment used it, the developer was not talking badly of trans people per se, but was critical of how their group and the cause to express their identity is being misused by the ruling class. I imply that it could be transphobia, but I’m not certain if it is, even if I understand why it would be an upsetting and hurtful take for some. If there’s a better way to describe this succinctly with a more respectful framing, I’m open to alternatives.
