Do you believe the person in the comic is justified in asking about the other individual's genitalia? The comic is aimed at such people. If you think that's weird and wrong, you're not the target of this comic. But I don't think it's arrogant at all to be mean to such people who think we should be discriminated against based on our genitalia.
Are you saying nobody actually does such things to us? It's all a strawman, nobody actually asks what's "in our pants"? Because I have most certainly encountered such people personally, and many of my friends have been harassed by them.
Of course I don't think it was written by an actual terf. But very similar things are often said by them, and I think there is a place for using satire like this. Satirical comics have been used in countless other political issues for hundreds of years (just look at the comics similar to this against King George). Why is it any different or any more "arrogant" in our case?
You seem to have completeley missed the fact that there are real life people who are against trans people, you seem to be one of them which kind of makes me wonder how you missed this fact
