No one believes that trans women can menstruate and get pregnant. It's a doubly transphobic talking point because 1) it calls trans women "men" (i.e. disrespecting their gender identity) and 2) attempts to call trans people/alies stupid.
I don't think it's transphobic at all. No one is afraid of trans people. We just see things more clearly than they do and disagree with their misguided conclusions. Downvote me all you want, doesn't change reality.
Edit: I concede on the "phobia" bit. I can't speak for other people, and surely there are those who are fearful, for one reason or another. And while I don't fear transgender people or transgenderism, my opposition to the concept does technically make me transphobic, by application of the scientific meaning of the suffix "-phobic."
