@charliejane I mean they used to do that just that in the mainstream until about a decade ago. There's a reason us older queer folks keep calling transphobia "reheated homophobia" :,). Even degendering lesbians used to be super common because people would claim biological truths to sexual orientations and thus cis lesbians were somehow "less" woman than cishet ones and therefore a threat to them in lockers and washrooms.
