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?!

There is an option to report a group if you've been kicked out.,

When lot of people make reports the group goes on a last legs fb watch thing.

The admins aren't as despotic as they think here.

I'd report the group to fb for sexism and what ever else is possible.

A couple of admins I know have stepped down because their own posts were being flagged too much and were in danger of getting fb the group closed.

Good idea WarriorN

To report a Facebook group:

From your News Feed, click Groups in the left menu or search for the name of the group you want to report.

Click below the cover photo and select Report group.

Select what's wrong with the group, click Next then click Done.

”I don't think this is a mystery at all. So not sure why perplexing or shameful.”

Shame is another associated kink. Women are shamed for being sexualised, ergo shame is feminine and therefore desirable.

it is hard for women in the facebook group to understand that women's mundane experiences can be sexually arousing to males with autogynephilia and how much of it is fueled by sexism. There are 2 related active MN threads discussing men and paraphilias.

See this extract from 'Men trapped in Men's bodies' where they get sexually aroused putting on make up
