They are both using trans people as a detraction, but actually hate. "we can always tell" is a declaration of intent, not fact. They want/wish to be able to tell, but they can't.

And that is also by design. They want to punish women who aren't the "right kind of women", for style, height, strength, queer. It's why the question is "what" and now who. Because they don't see women as people. Their definition of "woman" is "thing I want to fuck".

And. yes, this applies to women who do this too. They also generally hate other women and think of themselves as one of the "good ones" who do whatever men want. Given how Boebert excuses the shit her husband has done, she is very much a "pick me".

Yup, conservatism is rooted in conformity. “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down” and all that. The trans thing is just an excuse to hammer nails.

That desire for conformity is also why they get so scared about things like the perceived gay agenda. If people are changing the norm, then they’ll have to change what they conform to. It’s why they genuinely believe all of the “they’re indoctrinating the kids to turn them all gay” talking points. If being gay becomes the norm, then they’ll have to conform.
