It’s so strange that the people who are most strident about “there are only two genders and you can only be the gender you were assigned at birth” are the first to insist that a woman is secretly a man because she’s good at sports, or a man is secretly a woman because he doesn’t watch sports. You’d think the gender essentialists would be most strident about great women athletes being women no matter what, but somehow gender is something assigned at birth that you can’t decide to change about yourself, but can be removed by a committee of old white men if they don’t like you.
It’s consistent, they think there’s two genders and they conform to those roles. Men are strong and have a penis, women are weak and do not. If they see a strong woman they’re not saying being strong makes her a man, they’re saying because she’s strong the only way that makes sense to them is that she must be a man (with a penis) in disguise. Otherwise their narrow worldview falls apart
