      They aren’t saying she looks like a man, it’s a reference to a pretty specific insult she was called in the house recently. Though I guess someone could argue that insult was transphobic, I’d have to think about it but I certainly wouldn’t push back

        Youre right that they didnt say she looked like “a” man. They said she looked like the specific man in this photo - Hulk Hogan.

        I understood the reference. It’s still not a great look for people to ‘dunk’ on butch women for being butch, no matter how badly built their bodies are.

          It was making a point about how MTG was mocking women’s looks to insult them by turning the insult back on her.

          Basically vocal self defense .

            “Turning transphobic insults back on someone”… is still transphobic.

            Would you call a black person the N word because they called someone else that first?
