Feel very angry about being called transphobic

I am sorry if I use any incorrect language here. I don't believe myself to be transphobic at all. I believe that everyone should live their lives, be themselves and be called what they prefer in order to be happy.
I am the member of a make-up group on Facebook which discusses a particular technique. Lately, a number of transwomen have joined the group. One of these new members posts lots of pictures of herself wearing makeup and reclining on a bed. Her knickers are often showing in at least one picture. (nightdress/dress hiked up slightly. No genitalia can be seen) I commented something like 'love the colour of your eyeshadow but could do without seeing your underwear!'. I was called transphobic, a terf and a bigot. The things is, I don't want to see anyone's knickers on a make-up group. And I have never seen a single biological woman post pictures like this. I was reported and kicked out the group. I feel really angry about this. Can we no longer call out sleazy behaviour?!

Women are not support humans to the kink and fetishes of males. Kicking you out of the group is social conditioning of this low level abuse. See Datuns post on this thread to understand what drives these people and what you were expected to participate in

Break it down for me?

If it's any consolation OP there were probably some women in the group who saw the kink, then saw you being punished for pointing it out, and they will now be also realising that there's something wrong happening, and this wrong thing isn't transphobia.

No, of course you aren't transphobic for calling out a sleazy man getting his kicks from living out his kink on Facebook.

Sadly your nice group is now ruined, like so many other things. You can stay and fight or decide it isn't worth it. I'd probably do the latter, life is too short for fighting the mini battles like that one.
