That doesn't make any sense based on Shakespeare's original usage...

Or any common usage since, I'm genuinely curious what you think the phrase means.

Any chance you could tell me what you're implying?

Sure, the only reason someone would bother replying to that comment the way you did, would be if they had some kind of problem with the subject matter, in this case trans people. IE your protest betrayed who you are. No one gets irked enough to comment only when someone "posts something unrelated".

Happy to be wrong though. Do you support trans rights?

Nope, just seemed like a random karma grab that just distracted from the Epstein stuff.

No one gets irked enough to comment only when someone “posts something unrelated”.

Definitely not the only time I comment.

Do you support trans rights?

Yeah, it's no one else's business what someone does with their own body. But anyone who thinks anything biological is binary clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. There's no clear lines in nature, we just pretend there is to teach kids a simplified version in school.

But I treat people the same regardless of gender anyways, so I just honestly don't care what someone else is doing.

So to me, it's weird when someone just brings it up randomly when a more important and completely different topic is at hand.

I don't get why it matters.

That's all fair, and we're clearly on the same team. My fault for misreading the flavor of your comment.
