To break this down a bit instead of only downvoting:

> I'm 100% against trans participating in sports

There's a nuanced argument to be made here.

> It's disgusting when men pretend to be women just to have a record on their name.

This is not that nuanced argument. I can assure you no one that is trans "pretends" to be a woman for sports records. That comment (as well as the word choice of "disgusting") shows a severe lack of understanding of trans people.

> It's even more disgusting when it's celebrated as diversity or progressive or whatever.

This shows a particular bias against "progressive/diversity" ideas and colors the comments before them with an even worse light that highlights the lack of understanding.

> Does that make me just a "relatively conservative" or full-on "transphobe"?

Just like anything, there are gradients and being transphobic now doesn't mean you have to be in the future.
