I read that as “I don’t accept trans peoples gender, but will act like I do if it benefits me or my cause”, is there another interpretation I’m missing?
No, he’s not one to pretend, he’s saying that what he or anyone else thinks about trans people just not relevant to him in virtually everything he does, fixing devices or supporting or rallying against a trans politicians’ position on other issues like technology.
To give a separate example, does Alice Weidel’s sexual orientation have any relevance to your opinion of the German right-wing fascist party leader? No, it’s similarly irrelevant, and I can make assumptions, but you don’t have to tell me you support or oppose gay marriage to know that.
Yeah I can agree he has transphobic opinions, but they seem to come from a place of ignorance rather than hate because it’s not worth spending his time over.

it’s more “i won’t argue or discuss it at all because it has nothing to do with me or my cause”, not do’s or don’t

Which is true, but his opinions are still transphobic lol. I don’t hate the guy for this, but let’s not pretend he’s not transphobic.

That’s the part I don’t get, is there worse then the quoted text that they said or?
Pretty benign comment imo
