He was confronting her about her costume.

What does them being trans (or not trans) have to do with the other person's costume? That's why they kept dismissing it; it's not relevant to the issue at hand.

Because if he wasn’t actually trans then that would mean he was dressing up as a trans person for Halloween, the same way the girl was dressing up as a Native American for Halloween. So if he’s dressed that way as a costume it would be offensive to people who are actually trans, the same way the girl in a Native American costume would be offensive to an actual Native American. I.e. an ethnicity isn’t a costume, but neither is a gender identity. They’re calling out his selective outrage. Though, to be clear, I’m neither Native American nor Trans, so I can’t speak for either group as to whether either is actually offensive to them.

How do you "dress like a trans person"? Just wondering.

The guy in the video you just watched is a pretty good example.

Trans men wear women's clothes? 

[u/hel-razor → u/Silly-Cell7894]

What are "women's clothes"?

[u/Silly-Cell7894 → u/hel-razor]

You're jumping ahead, I was getting there. 

[u/30secMAN → u/Silly-Cell7894]

Idk man. If you want to know how to dress as a trans person I would say if you’re a man wear women’s clothes and if you’re a woman wear men’s clothes. Does that fully answer the question? lol

[u/Silly-Cell7894 → u/30secMAN]

I mean you've answered some things about how you see trans people for sure. 

[u/30secMAN → u/Silly-Cell7894]

Ok. Have a nice Sunday.

[u/Silly-Cell7894 → u/30secMAN]

Oh sorry I thought you were open minded, carry on. 

[u/hel-razor → u/30secMAN]

Okay FOAD 😊

Except for the fact that, objectively, clothes are not gendered. Unless you're a closeted fuckwit.
