Related to this, it's funny how they lose their minds if you simply type "transman" instead of "trans man".

😄😄😄 Really, I've never noticed this. What's the issue?

It's because "transman" is a made-up word to describe a woman who thinks she is/wishes she was a man, while "trans man" uses "trans" as an adjective to describe an "actual" man. So they can say "I'm a real man; I just happen to be trans."

Yeah they commonly use the argument "it says man right in the name!" As if the unbiased universe granted them that name to prove their sex.

At which point I can't help but return to: "Seahorses are horses."
