More context--the women (and, conveniently omitted from mention, one man) who, in my journal, were talking about voz using that phrase to illustrate that "suddenly, when it happens to trans men, it's relevant. But I mean, you know that and I know that and Voz said it just as well as I just did."
Frankly, the assertion that the use of transphobic slurs refering to trans women by their (pre-or-non-operative) genitals is not seen as "relevant" by the moderators of transgender is ridiculous, and those making it might want to stay off whatever it is they're smoking.
Also - "a man was on our side, so what we did was OK" - what's this, a new and "witty" form of the "one of my best friends is ..." argument?
