He's also in the comments saying he's made Terfs upset, yet there's WOC calling him out, so I guess it does not matter what WOC think! Dude claims to care about "Women" yet he's calling woc TERFS for not agreeing with him. This opinion is becoming more and more common on twitter, it's usually shut down, but I can't tell you HOW many times I've seen transwomen/Allies jump to the "What about black women in sports? What about black women?"

In their mind we look like men and if we are masculine women and still women, then why aren't transwomen considered women? Notice they don't do this to non-WOC as often. I have no idea why they have to push for WOC to be seen as most like transwomen, but no one else. I have no idea why they moved on from saying it's "Transphobic!" to using racism. I guess there's a lot of racists WOC then.

Imagine saying you care about this topic but tell actual WOC to shut the fuck up if they disagree.

For the same reason they always tokenize "trans women of color", it's to blur the line between trans activism and black activism. The same way they use the LGBTQ to latch themselves onto and speak for/over the gay community without ever helping gay causes.
