I didn't mean to imply it's not also concerning tech. I think it would fit in both spheres. Just commenting on the whole "stop making trans people political" notion, like the issue isn't and hasn't been political the entire time.

Ah, I see. That's a complicated matter. Ultimately everything that relates to people's lives is political, but many people don't even think of matters as political unless they are having issues regarding their rights.

I don't think that response is accurate, but it's a way to convey that trans people's rights should be a given, just as cis people's rights are. Most people don't think of their cisness as political, even though it is.
