I have a friend who's a cis woman. She has long hair and dresses feminine. Recently she's been depressed and has been neglecting herself in many ways. She stopped shaving her legs among many other things. She's also 5'7" which is pretty tall but really not that unusual for a cis woman.
She was using the bathroom at a clothing store earlier today. These two women started ganging up on her, calling her trans, and saying she didn't belong there. They used the hair on her legs as evidence that she can't be a cis woman, and that she's too tall to be one. And started pointing to random traits like having wide cheekbones and small boobs. One of them threatened to call the police on her. She ran out of the store into her car and she broke down crying.
Make no mistake, transvestigating is a way to police women's appearances. It's a tool of the patriarchy and this is an intended, purposeful consequence. Any woman who doesn't follow the "rules" by dressing in an acceptable way, shaving her body hair, etc will face consequences from this. Kinda insane.
Maybe they should've considered this before allying with troons
