They think the hands are too masculine to be women’s hands. To me, they just look like hands.
Aside from the absurdity of them transvestigating a statue, it’s just more of their usual nonsense. Sometimes they pretend that they care about protecting cis women, but their stringent criteria on what traits it’s valid for a woman to have makes it obvious that they only care about hurting trans women. They’re pretty transparent about it.
Though despite it being obvious to many of us, I’ve found that when talking to people who aren’t actively transphobic (but may have some poor takes and may never have met a trans person), it’s useful to highlight the mis.atch between the transphobes’ stated aims and their actions. For example, I, a cis woman, have been a victim of transphobic violence a few times. But then, I suppose that oppressing all women is likely the actual aim of many of them, so this would be seen as a feature, not a bug
i don’t get it. what do they imply? anyway, nice, send it back to Europe, as it doesn’t belong in the US anymore

Now now, that’s simply not true. They care about hurting all women, not only trans women!
I think the French can find a spot for it
