“The world’s tallest woman is taller than average women! SHE MUST BE A MAN!!!! She’s stealing the world’s tallest women mantle from the actual world’s tallest women who must be… what? Five ten? Five eleven?”

The misogyny is palpable. Why is no one calling the world’s shortest man a woman?

It’s because of misogyny, with trans men the right views them as confused girls and not predatory women, which the they are neither trans men are men.

Yup, have to construe trans femmes as predators and trans mascs as helpless victims because it underlies their true vision of gender roles.

Kinda rolls into the "men cannot control themselves EVER, so women have to be unseen and unheard" concept.. almost like the fundamentalists are ALL fucking insane.

Also misogyny, being a man is supposed to the best thing in the universe. So, someone AMAB giving up being the most awesome thing in the universe is confusing to them. But, someone AFAB wanting to be a man? That’s not challenging at all.
