Transman tries to join female and non-binary space

This has gone quite mad over social media.

I am not sure what to think of it other than, if transwomen are women then transmen are men? Why would this person want to be there?

And this is a 'female and non-binary space' -the 'non-binary' makes it ambiguous? But from the reactions the transman got, wasn't welcome, shunned, seems primarily female, a 'safe space'?

I am sorry that I cannot upload the file, only the TikTok link.

I do agree that you cannot change your sex by the way. It's just this whole 'Transwomen are women!' thing that's everywhere so by that reckoning, transmen are men? They can't have it both ways?

But other people say transwomen are men... you seem to be expecting them to say transmen are not women?

Didn't sound like she talked to anyone but expected others to talk to her. Feminine voice to go with the wispy beard though.

Edited

Yes, it does seem a bit like that.

Trans men are women. I remember bumping into a bearded individual in the women's toilets. Instantly fear kicked in and I froze. Then within a second I clocked the height, the hips, the carrying angle, the lack of Adam's apple, the stance...and realised it was fine, just a trans man. Aka a woman. Fear gone.

TO be fair, I could grow a beard if I wanted to these days. I'd have not have liked that though, unless it was so obviously female that no fear kicked in at all. We shouldn't have to feel that in a female space.
