Context: In a discussion about a small apartment listing described as “perfect for a full-time female student,” the above transphobic comment was made in regard to who would post such a listing.

The comment is transphobic because it:

  1. Misgenders: Puts “woman” in quotes, invalidating trans women’s gender.
  2. Stereotypes: Suggests trans women might transition for ulterior motives, perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
  3. Undermines Identity: Implies trans women are fundamentally different and suspect compared to cis women.
