Their phrasing is even worse than just generalizing. They worded it as the woman’s attractiveness changes based on men, instead of saying that men are less attracted to a woman after finding out they are trans.
The most favorable reading would be “Men are less attracted to trans women after finding out they are trans” which I don’t think is even unpopular. People frequently find actors and actresses less attractive when they find out their natural hair color doesn’t match their on screen look, and that’s just hair color! People frequently find people less attractive when their expectations and assumptions aren’t met, and people have expectations and assumptions hammered into them by society for their entire lives.
I was willing to cut them slack. Originally thought that that maybe they misworded it, or just over generalized.
Obviously, saying all x feel this way is inflammatory, regardless of the crowd. Targeting the statement at cis men after being informed they are not the global spokesperson is not helpful.
