When they invented the word ‘transgender’, and decided it would mean whatever they wanted it to mean, they gave themselves permission to apply it to whomever they please, obviously.
Posthumous transing is even more twisted than posthumous conversions
Not to mention, it steals women’s history. All those women who dressed as men, or took on a man’s name, because they weren’t allowed to do what they wanted as women? Now trans. So all those women were really men because they were doing man-things instead of woman-things.

It’s the trousers. Let them wear pants and they’ll think they can do anything.
Wardrobe is too easily gamed, though. There has to be some other indication of inner Man-esence that is an honest signal. There must be some clue they could have been giving us before the advent of dosing with T and growing beards and ‘staches. What would the TiF equivalent of the TiM head-tilt be? Manspreading, perhaps? From the mid-19C on we could look for photographic evidence. Manspread=TiF, case closed. Right? Such evidence for Joan of Arc and Hatchepsut might be in short supply, but we should be kind, give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume they were men.

Sound stereotypical much?
