For what it’s worth, and maybe I’m naive, but I read that comment not about not meeting some criteria of what appears on a driver’s license… But instead rebuking the notion that JD has acted with the integrity required to achieve “manhood”.
English has really massacred the ability to clearly articulate concepts around biology, identifying as a boy or girl, and then having lived in such a way to have “ascended” to “manhood/womanhood”.
JD Vance is a boy if he says he’s a boy. Being a man isn’t so simple. I reject that he is a man.
I think they understood you were fighting fire with fire. What they were saying is that more people get burned from fires than just the people who set them.
Yeah re-reading that line, I think you’re right that they intended “trans” to mean “masqueradeding as”.
I agree with the sentiment, but you’re right, it’s not cool to use “trans” for that purpose. Thanks for poking me to more carefully consider how the word was used here.
Misgendering someone as an insult may hurt them a little, but it hurts the non-cis community a lot.

I don’t think Jd Vance was born with a penis.
If they want to keep bathrooms “safe” what’s good for the goose …
I’m just taking a page out of their book, and applying it to a “man” who looks very womanly.

Yeah we’re already set on fire.
And JD Trans just gets a pass?
Ignoring the bit where they call him trans as an insult…

Let me be clear: I am not insulting Jd Vance (I will later) when I question if he’s trans.
I will call him “he” and respect his pronouns
I just actually believe he’s a trans man or perhaps intersex.
He can end all the speculation. Drop your pants, JD…
