Like I said- you are forcing your ideology on a group of people regardless of how they may feel. They did create their own sub- transmen invaded it. Reddit doesn’t welcome “transphobia”, fine. Then the sub will get banned eventually- because clearly the overall consensus is that transmen aren’t considered men by the majority of that sub. And the gay men will move to a space where they can ban heterosexual women who think they’re gay men, as you said. So nobody needed to be reminded that reddit skews in favor of trans people- we are all well aware. The point is not that reddit allows them to invade other people’s spaces- the point is that the people in the space that was invaded don’t see them as men, let alone gay men. You asked why the post was “attacked”. That’s why.

Just 30 years ago, here, doctors were saying "just date very manly woman or woman with PCOS (and they often much more 'manly' than transmen), so you can fix your genital preferences to a normal one", and if you refused - you could get into jail or forced to unpaid "social works". They were saying "it is masculinity what attracts you".

15 years ago if any doctor will say that - they will be charged for homophobia.

Today people are saying the very same, with very same words (maybe phrasing a bit differently, instead of "fix" there "unlearn"), and it is punished in similar ways - instead of jail or unpaid work, you can lose job and be banned (in some USA states you can be put in jail, tho). History repeats itself, homophobia is strong as ever.
