What does this “surrender your man card” even mean? I must transition to be a woman? So much for protecting people from being “force-transed” for showing even the slightest form of gender-nonconformity!
…it also implies that “being a man” is not determined by your birth, but rather by your decisions and lifestyle, and that everyone is in fact gender fluid and able to change their gender at any time.
So basically, toxic masculinity is actually woke as fuck
It tends to mean something akin to “you don’t even need to transition to be a woman, because your masculinity is already so corrupted that you effectively already are one”.
This logic isn’t in contradiction with their transphobia, but in fact synergises with it. Trans men are seen as having no right to intrude upon the privileged position of masculinity, and trans women are seen as even more horrifying due to the fact that they willingly eschew their masculinity — something that’s incomprehensible to someone whose personal identity is 90% whatever hegemonic masculinity tells them to be.
A friend remarked to me once that one of the reasons she found transition liberating was because she had been bullied all her life for being too effeminate, so coming out as trans felt like shouting “you can’t fire me, I quit!”
That’s a different club, the man club really only gets you discounts at certain motel chains, sorta like AAA. You automatically decline roadside assistance though, because man.

It means you’re not a man, you pussy!

Or that being a man has nothing to do with the morals you hold yourself to
These people have 3 genders actually: men, women, and degenerates. So the goal in life is to be the purest of the first two

You forfeit your Alpha Male Club membership and any dues paid immediately.
You are disqualified from ever becoming a Navy SEAL.
If your favorite sports team wins a championship it will have nothing to do with you being a fan.
If you have any male cats they are promoted to King (s) of the house.
It’s brutal.
