This is called transmisogyny and it is predicated on the idea that there is nothing more disgusting or ridiculous for a man to be than a woman.
This is the equivalent of telling a female politician you don't like that she needs to get back to the kitchen, or worse.
If you're left of R, stop it.

the “Elonia Musk” thing rests entirely on “ha ha what if he was a woman” and that is so self-evidently transphobic and misogynistic that I do not understand calling yourself progressive and unironically using it as an insult

We are treated as women when it comes to bodily autonomy, and the most vile of men when it comes to punishment.
It is upheld in a million ways, but the first and most obvious is "wouldn't it be ridiculous if this man wore a dress?"
It says "there is a barrier between masculinity and femininity and to cross from the former to the latter is blasphemous."
Transmisogyny is a poison at the heart of society and it keeps everyone locked rigidly in place but none more so than trans women.
