Trans-excluders like to say that they're absolutely fine with boys who don't fit in with gender stereotypes. And I, not one of you, am fine with children not fitting gender stereotypes. But I don't think that is true of all of you. Why is "man in a dress" used as an insult by so many of you?

The only Public Service Announcement I'll make is to say that trans-excluders makes me think of draft excluders. (Thanks for the poster who came up with that.)

It's not an insult. But men in dresses who claim they are women are wrong, and harm women, so they get talked about disdainfully. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Because the person is identifying add a woman and they are making the point that they choose to identify him differently. It is indeed deeply unpleasant considering that being a man and feeling psychologically uncomfortable enough to risk society's contempt by wearing a dress must be dreadful.
