Crud, that footnote said something different in my head.

I didn't mean trans men can't be sexist (I have seen counterexamples to that myself!). I just meant that in any hypothetical fic based on this premise it might have unfortunate implications for there to be one-to-one correspondence between trans men and very sexist men (in the same way as there it is unfortunate in the game for there to be a 1-1 correspondence between extreme sexism and being from a ethnicity which is roughly equivalent to middle eastern :/) I think a good author could write a horribly sexist character who was trans or intersex without it going to a bad place, but I'm not sure I could at this point.
