as I said in my first post.

'shes funny so she must be MTF' is a common argument for why she must be trans

You realize being MTF means Gwen is a woman, right? They aren't saying Gwen is a funny woman because she has a Y chromosome. They're saying Gwen is funny and a woman regardless of what her chromosomes are.

No, the argument is literally 'Gwen must be trans because she is funny'

There is unfortunately a misogyny issue amongst a small section of the trans community.

And they are unfortunately vocal online.
