I disagree, i firmly believe the trans epidemic is a symptom of the patriarchy. Its still about sexualising, controlling and demeaning women but in a new shiny veneer.
The ideology that drives the narrative behind the militancy of LGBTs, especially the Ts, and feminists’ narrative of the “Patriarchy” is the same: Critical theory, i.e., cultural Marxism, demands society create special privileges for a certain class of people (due to “Oppression!”) whether that class is based on race, gender, or the countless other identities swarming the public consciousness.
Like good Marxists, feminists and T-people want the same thing: power and control, but do not want to rely on the traditional means of hard work and merit to get it. Both use narratives, neither of which line up with history or science, to bludgeon people into accepting their absurd theories about how they think society should be changed.
I agree transgenderism is a symptom of the demeaning of women—carried through from its genesis in radical feminism. Amusingly, it is another example of the radical left—of which feminists and T-people proudly carry that banner because they think an oppressive society needs to change for them—eating it’s own because one narrative is too absurd for the other.
The funny part is both narratives can only find support in fabricated evidence. Hence why I find both narratives absurd, why greater society finds both narratives absurd, and why there are so many “transphobes” and “misogynistic tools of the patriarchy” walking around.
