Tomorrow another group of people might decide something about your intent and you might have no way to make your case.
Anyway, you have to really stretch it beyond reason to see transphobia behind anything RMS has said, written, or done.
As for the impact of his works and actions, everyone has access to a full software stack to explore, learn from, and work on, without the need to be inside some university or company, i.e. to have the money or to pass admission processes that might be putting certain groups at a disadvantage, or outright excluding them. This was also his intent all along and he sacrificed a lot for it.
