I would assume that they would defer to the men, as women are prone to do.

However, I seem to remember a comment on old GC about a department who put a TiM in charge and then all patted themselves on the back about how woke and tolerant they all were. Then a supervisor position came up and rather than recruiting within the dept another TiM was brought in who was less qualified than them all. Then another vacancy filled and, surprise surprise, he recruits another TiM.

And they weren't happy but they couldn't do anything about it as they'd no language to describe what was happening to them and in every direction they could've taken a complain was now a trans male who'd scream transphobia.

Talk about colonization!

The word "transphobia" needs to be de-legitimized now. I call it out anytime I see it by sometimes beginning the conversation with a dissection of the word "phobia" in order to prove that women fighting to protect their own rights are not actually "phobic" by definition.

Yet they never see it coming and no doubt called everyone who said a word about it...Transphobic.
