Kinda reductive, no? All it takes for a man to be trans is wearing heels?

I agree, it's really not great. Gender should be defined by how the person feels and identifies, not by how they dress.

Then men started wearing full trous, and women started wearing high dresses and skirts, where men wore the shorts and women went full length before.
