For what it’s worth, and maybe I’m naive, but I read that comment not about not meeting some criteria of what appears on a driver’s license… But instead rebuking the notion that JD has acted with the integrity required to achieve “manhood”.
English has really massacred the ability to clearly articulate concepts around biology, identifying as a boy or girl, and then having lived in such a way to have “ascended” to “manhood/womanhood”.
JD Vance is a boy if he says he’s a boy. Being a man isn’t so simple. I reject that he is a man.
Yeah re-reading that line, I think you’re right that they intended “trans” to mean “masqueradeding as”.
I agree with the sentiment, but you’re right, it’s not cool to use “trans” for that purpose. Thanks for poking me to more carefully consider how the word was used here.
I think they understood you were fighting fire with fire. What they were saying is that more people get burned from fires than just the people who set them.

Ignoring the bit where they call him trans as an insult…
