Man, we've built a society where men and transfeminine people who don't know what they are yet can't do anything even remotely coded as feminine without getting torn to shreds.
They put on a dress or heels or makeup and go out, and cis society goes "LOL man in a dress, what a faggot".
And if they do this and go to a space that bills itself as trans-friendly, everyone is all "excuse you, this is transmisogyny, you're just as bad as RuPaul you awful straight man" unless they adequately prove that they are transfeminine (and in some cases you need, like, a note from two doctors, a therapist, and a social worker, and guess how hard it is to get any of these people to sign off on your gender unless you're already presenting as hyperfeminine).
