It's a word play on transposing which is rotation of matrixes and trans-thingy which is usually the gender change from male->female or female->male.
This is visualized by the male ♂ and female ♀ symbols, which also look a bit like rotated versions of each other. Excluding any gender-nonbinarity, both functions are involutions, meaning being self-inverse.
(Trans-thingy (anyone got a word for this?) is obviously not a function you can apply on humans like you can apply transpositions on matrixes and there are also nonbinary trans people, so yeah. Still a good Joke tho.)

This post is saying trans men are men and trans women are women right

it’s also saying u can change somebody’s gender by reflecting them along the diagonal

I noticed that the gender signs are almost reflections across the diagonal, and also transpose.

Yes, but in a very secretive way, so that no Republican will be able to understand it

Maybe it's just been a while since I took linear algebra, but this doesn't make a ton of sense.

Dog this is a shitposting board why are you hurting my head

before reading the title i thought this was about the normal and tangential components of vectors (often written v = v^⊥^ + v^⊤^), which made this very confusing
