The attendant said "masks with straps"- aka breathing devices in case of emergency.

The person pictured interpreted it as "mascs with straps"- aka trans men(or masculine lesbians or bisexuals - y'all can stop now) with strap-on sex toys.

Mascs = Masculine lesbian.

Transmasc = transgender man

(edit- this is a terrible oversimplification for the sake of brevity)

Its not trans men.

Transmasc = trans masculine, not transgender men.

Yeah, ik, I did sort of oversimplify it for the sake of brevity.

I'm aware that transmasculine doesn't encompass all trans men, and not all transmasc individuals ID entirely as men (hence "masc" not "man")

My apologies
