Football has always had a political side. Those fans showed their political colors I guess

I have a lot of German friends, and it seems really regional but a lot of the country is extremely transphobic.

How is this specifically transphobic? I understand that this is against non-binary people, but don't trans people want to change from one sex to the other, staying in the original binary selection?

These right-wing football fans aren't waving this banner to start a gentle discussion about the differences between sex and gender. They're doing it to be provocative and whip up hate against all trans people (including trans men, women and non binary people). It's a shorthand for basically saying trans people are making it all up, designed to laugh at and try and humiliate trans people, which makes it transphobic / hateful in its sentiment. Intentions matter.
