This is true but a minor counterargument is that lots of women love football and women’s football also tends to be very queer friendly.

True, although unfortunately men's football really overshadows women's football in most places outside the US.

This is a trans topic so I’m digressing but my point of contention is that the op mentioned minorities in their comment. Warhammer and DND might be more welcoming spaces for certain trans folk but can be extremely classist and unhealthy environments for lots of other minorities

Sadly correct as well. I'm also a bit torn on the trans inclusivity of Warhammer and D&D - post gamergate a lot of traditional "nerdy" spaces have gathered a small, but extremely vocal and organized minority of reactionary weirdos that will do everything in their power to make these hobbies as hostile to marginalized people as possible. It has gotten to the point that some TTRPG communities i know have sparked private, secluded offshoots intended as safer spaces for women, racialized and queer people.

Also, i've found it pretty easy to look for new groups mostly in trans communities. I think that can make the supposed trans relatedness of certain hobbies a self fulfilling prophecy, when you're feshly outed and looking for trans friends the easiest way to do that is to pick up TTRPGs, TCGs or WH40k.
