The answer to the ICE thug asking if someone is a man should be "Are you? The way you're acting you seem like a little boy playing at being a man." "Real men don't attack vulnerable people. Real men stand up for their community."
They misgender intentionally as an insult because they have a conservative concept of gender. Give the evaluation back to them based on the best version of their flawed concept.
That'll show em
In general people need to learn better aggressive interview techniques. Hostile/gotcha media has been around for at least as long as live interviews have been a concept.
You don't have to be perfectly infallible or witty. Have two or three prongs of attack, a few different phrasings, and some rejoinders or counters to their likely responses.
Don't bite with "did you just call this woman a man", pivot to a different phrasing on the same question, keep hammering and don't let them control the conversation.
only the best people doing gods work for the most malevolent president EVER!!
