One issue here is that "Geschlechter" was translated as "genders" in the headline, while the word can also be translated as "sexes", which does make a big difference. I'm not sure though what relevance the existence of two biological sexes has for those fans.

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.

Meh. Nowadays if you don't want a mtf athlete competing with biological women or children taking life altering hormones at 12 some coward bully will want to justify bashing your head in because they call you "transphobe".

We gotta stop with the word and actually talk about the issues without threats every 5 seconds. Not that Reddit is the place for that since it's circlejerk-land where anyone who disagrees is a nazi, but you get the point.
