Yes. It comes from racist caricatures of black women as being "big, loud, and aggressive" (traits generally considered masculine) that you see in the Angry Black Women trope. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen black women called manly or basically men, so when I first started seeing these "if black women are women" type posts from (more often than not white) TRAs it immediately brought those taunts to mind.

So many black male comedians had this as their schtick for a long time - Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Tyler Perry - all crossdressed. I just laughed when I was younger, but now I see how dangerous those stereotypes are.

How can non-TRAs not go along with it? If being a woman is only a performance then that reprehensible belief falls into step with trans ideology.
