I'd say the "lady" doeth protest too much.

She does have a rather handsome look about her, with her really large manly head, hands, strong prominent brow, and a very masculine jawline. Maybe she's recently been the subject of similar slurs, perhaps some of the MAGAs have accused her of being a trans woman.

Perhaps she's just having a triggering moment.

Still doesn't excuse her very bad behavior. [/quote]

Right because we should be making fun of how women look.[/quote]

No one is making fun of how she looks, just digging in the psychology of it all. Hey she ditched her femininity a long time ago. You have to be tough to have been the first female to graduate from the Citadel. I'm sure she's had more than one person compare her looks and demeanor to those of a man.

Growing your hair out and getting a boob job can't wipe away the kind of conditioning necessary to survive the Citadel and or to want to be the "first" at all. So maybe on some level she had/has doubts about her gender. But what was her choice back then? Those born into the wrong body, 30-40 years ago had not the freedom of young people today. The choice triggers her, she sucked it up so why can't they.

I've no doubt that being born into the body of the wrong gender is a real thing, all things exist on a spectrum after all. I remember watching Paris Is Burning as a young adult and feeling a great deal of sadness for some of the characters who talked about saving up money so that they could transition surgically. I mean some of the trans women were so delicate, graceful, feminine and beautiful that it was clear to me that they were more "woman" and feminine than I'd ever be. And because of this life was dangerous for them so much so that I'm almost certain Venus Butterfly didn't live long enough to get her surgery. Had she been born 40 years later she wouldn't have had to live on the fringes and prostitute herself in order to raise the funds to pay for gender reassignment surgery. For the Venus Butterflies of the world I am grateful that times changed.

So I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that she's feeling triggered. Maybe she was born into the wrong body herself and is angry that she didn't have the opportunity, freedom and acceptance that people born into the wrong body have today. Imagine if she didn't have something to prove she might have chosen an entirely different path than the Citadel. She could have, lived as a man, chosen the Citadel and still had the freedom to reveal her trans roots and run for office as the first Trans Congressman were she/he coming of age today. I mean I'm sure she gets brownies from the MAGA crowd which probably explains some of her behavior, but I can't help but think her stance also looks an awful lot I didn't get any breaks so why should they.
