It might be that some of them are thinking misogyny is part and parcel of being a man, which would be pretty shitty. Maybe for some that are dysphoric, they feel so negatively towards the parts of themselves that they found feminine that it extends to anything or anyone feminine at all. It kind of reminds me of extreme cases of homophobia for closeted people, that extreme aggression towards something that you're secretly a part of but hate so much.

That said, damn. Kudos for having a core and pelvic muscles strong enough to not straight up give birth by prolapse on deadlifts like that.

Reminds me of my husbands alcoholic buddy who early in his recovery was absolutely hateful towards anyone else with addict behavior. I guess when you make a big change like that, you have to kill the external remnants as well? Now the guy works in recovery, so at least he came around.
