honestly not sure but hypothesizing that you could see a bulge in anti-trans sentiment among men who are 1) taller than most women but 2) not taller than most trans women
i'm a gentleman's 5'11" which means I'm pretty close to median male height but taller than >99% of cis women. my hypothesis here, i guess, is that if you are accustomed to being taller than women it is more disconcerting to encounter women who are taller than you
so maybe you have ~3 buckets of men:
1) short kings who are used to a significant number of women being taller
2) midheight who are taller than most women but shorter than a good chunk of trans women
3) tall men who are still taller than most trans women
Don't know if I could prove it, but this is a good working assumption from experience
I feel like the sexism/homophobia complex matters more here, but I would not blink if this experiment found something on the margins
A Google search to see if anyone has tested if height correlates with sexism got a bunch of complaining women won't date short fuss, which feels like it validates both of us
I'd assume this would be true without intervention, but that trans women would tend towards intermediate heights if they got on hormone therapy before puberty
Distribution bias could be a factor too.
If they're not passing as well as they might like you're more likely to mentally note a transwoman as such, rather than a plain old ordinary woman, and a significant contributor to that can be "Hey, she's tall."
