    Yeah re-reading that line, I think you’re right that they intended “trans” to mean “masqueradeding as”.

    I agree with the sentiment, but you’re right, it’s not cool to use “trans” for that purpose. Thanks for poking me to more carefully consider how the word was used here.

      Let me be clear: I am not insulting Jd Vance (I will later) when I question if he’s trans.

      I will call him “he” and respect his pronouns

      I just actually believe he’s a trans man or perhaps intersex.

      He can end all the speculation. Drop your pants, JD…
