Strangely, while illiberal feminists treat conservative women as men in drag, men who identify as women are treated as women.

When illiberal feminists aren't delegitimizing female dissenters from their worldview as fake women, they are portraying them in such a hyper-sexualized way that they are reduced to nonhuman objects.
