Can you elaborate on why that's weird? This is the first footnote in Gio's recent article:

”I’ll be using he/him for Andrew since those are the pronouns James Roach, Miles, and Andrew’s legal representation use for him. If Andrew actually lists his preferred pronouns somewhere I’ll use them, but as far as I can tell he’s never unambiguously done that.”

More to the point, I've never heard of a specific factual basis for Gio being transphobic and I've interacted with him plenty, mostly around other trans people.
