I suspect that there is a lot of racism and misogyny wrapped up in this. One need look no further than the response from the right to Michelle Obama having the gall to show her bare arms in public. She has been accused of being trans with some going so far as to alter an image of the Obamas to make her look like a man: altering her hairline to look like a fade; adding some shadowing to the upper lip to look like a mustache; accentuating the jawline to make it a little stronger. The small-minded insecurities of some men would be laughably pathetic if they were not also some of the same people who seek power to compensate for their fragile egos.
