Agreed. But it’s not “would you rather be stuck in the woods alone with a bear or a misogynist”, it’s with a man, isn’t it? People can’t help what they’re born as. You’re judging them for something completely out of their control. Their gender no less, which a lot of men aren’t happy they were assigned. And on the other hand you’re actively shitting on trans masc choices to be men. I just don’t think this sweeping sexism is the answer.
It’s with a random man. You’re not a random man, you’re you. If a random man isn’t safe, that doesn’t mean anything about you. You’re not Spiders Georg.
That’s why it looks like solidarity when you defend the random man.

If I offered you some candy from a big bowl of Skittles and told you that only a handful were poisoned, would you eat one?
One bad apple spoils the bunch etc.
The man/bear thing seems stupid to me - but that’s probably just because I’ve missed the point of it.
Isn’t “choice” generally regarded as a problematic and incorrect term to use?
