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.

Realistically, is there a country that isn't? Maybe Thailand.

I mean here in Sweden I don’t see it too much outside of rural areas. It definitely exists but the status quo is generally fine with it as far as I’ve noticed first hand. I’m not trans though so I’m probably not a reliable authority on the subject.
