This is delightful. Thank you for sharing it.

I agree with dunking on the deflection, but this is more a red herring logical fallacy, which is (as the image says) presenting an irrelevant (whether true or false) subject change to avoid rebutting the argument. It could also perhaps be framed as ad hominem or appeal to hypocrisy, though neither truly fit.
Not really a straw man fallacy, which involves presenting an intentionally weak version of a relevant core argument to easily rebut it.

There are tons of them if you just do a Google image search.
I wish I could claim that I had made them, but I did not. I used these in Reddit arguments long past.

Sure. But for once, just this once, can we celebrate a win?

What's that have to do with trans rights?
