I don't think the comment would be made about femmes - who afterall, express more "traditional" (read: understood, expected) woman-hood, so of course they have BOOBS.

I agree that any reference to transmen or male-ided queers and BOOBS would immediately be seen as disrespectful, rather than shrugged off or justified. But the reference wouldn't get made as easily because of the privleging of male identity. It's specifically women, in this instance masculine women, that are supposed to suck it up and just have a sense of humor about any reference to BOOBS.

Even in context, I find Nixon's statement utterly objectifying and basically stupid.
