    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?
