Had a word with her afterwards, her hostility or maybe suspicion of gays and trans was clear.
It is what it is. I can understand why women can feel suspicious and uneasy. After all, men have dominated their gender for, like, ever and things like drag queens, trans etc can be seen as invading their only safe space, their womanhood. And it doesn't matter that some of us may think trans progress is not a threat to womanhood.
If women, some or majority, feel this way, it has to be accepted and addressed. The bottome line is we can't have sexual progress at the real or perceived expense of women.
Both genders, but women in particular, need to be okay with whatever is done is that area. Imho.

There also can't be progress with women stubbornly refusing progress despite even the times they don't understand it or refuse to understand it, and shouting down any male who dares to speak.

She always was an irrational person.
