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.

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.
