Andy, let’s try framing this in a way you might understand:

How would you feel about a thread started by a ciswoman about the experience of being a rape victim, and when a transwoman chimed in with her experience, the ciswomen shouted her down, saying the thread was only for women-born-women, with “real vaginas”, to share their feelings about penis-in-vagina rape? That okay by you?
