Then I really don't know what he's talking about because Lenin was totally an SJW. He fought for and established womens rights, same with gay and trans rights in the USSR, same with ethnic minorities in the USSR.
Not to endorse anything in the post but Lenin almost certainly didnt fight for gay and trans rights. He wasnt homophobic most likely and didnt show prejudice against sexual minorities which is in and of itself amazing for the era but i would be fairly sure that he didnt conciously fight for gay or trans rights or that struggle occupied more than a couple of thoughts through his whole life. The decriminalization of homosexuality under Lenin was because the entire Tsarist legal code was thrown out of the window and (maybe not by accident due to some other socialy progressive members in the party) it wasnt reinstated centraly at that point in time. Lenin probably either didnt care or didnt think about it.
That's what so annoying with "leftists" who says that early communist leaders are trads. Their support for women's right at the time was extremely radical when you consider that the prevailing view on women at the time is that they're barely sapient private property worth less than a horse. Hell, you can argue that even today their views on women is still way more radical liberal feminists as they advocated liberation instead of mere equality.

Oh, guess I stand corrected about that. I thought it was something they explicitly legalized.
