Why do you say it’s transphobic? It is not based on sexuality at all. Simply on economic regions

Trans families are less likely to live in the same economic region. Statistically, this is taking features away from trans people moreso than cis people. Transphobia isn’t an intention, it’s a consequence.

Transphobia requires intention

No it doesn’t. It’s called systemic bigotry. You see it in critical race theory. The system is set up to disadvantage minorities, such that innocent decisions go on to harm minorities too.

Now that Donald Trump is the next president, you’ll see a LOT of trans people fleeing the US who leave family behind. Steam used to offer trans people fleeing persecution the ability to share games with their family at home. It’s a horrible coincidence in timing that Steam deprecates this feature on the same day many trans people realise they have to flee the country or die.

I’d say it’s a stretch to call it transphobic just because of that. Unless you can actually back it up with evidence of intent from valve.
