Why do people think TW dominate the 'discussion'?

So - I'm interested into why TW seem to dominate the trans debate. My only thought it that TW were born male and therefore have all the physical and psychological elements that contribute to men having the privilege and sense of entitlement to have the final say. I can't help but feel the whole thing actually does more harm for trans people generally and certainly doesn't help trans men.

Thoughts?

Gender theory is an all or nothing, if it isn't all then it completely falls apart, they are working hard to keep the fantasy going or they risk their reality coming crashing down.

I would say it's similar to a popular diet and lifestyle choice, very dogmatic people, cultish, entitled. On the loud side. The quiet side are keeping their heads down and trying to get by quietly maybe deliberately distancing themselves from that movement.

The men in the (diet lifestyle choice) also dominate it with an online presence, public speakers, doctors etc. That explains why TW dominate the gender debate.

What people said, but I do sometimes think that people don't notice that there is a significant effect from activist transmen and women who support gender ideology. A lot of these people are very invested, and tiktok and some of the more social pressures that make a real contribution to the whole landscape effect are coming from female people. For example, many of the non-binary teachers and such who are putting crazy stuff on tiktok and teaching it to kids in their classes are female.

That's true, and quite a lot of the insidious changes to language ('chest feeding', 'menstruators' etc) seems to be driven by 'non-binaries' and TM.

And yes re privilege and entitlement.

Also TW entering female only spaces are not at threat. A TM entering a male only space still has to weigh up her safety - do they want to be the only biological female in an enclosed space likea public toilet? Do they want to be the only member of the female sex n the male prison or the open plan changing room. I'd like to see more trans men fighting for equivalent pay, equal inheritance rights, full combat rights in the military.

Because men usually do. If they see something as being u fair to them, they jump up and down and demand it's rectified.....

Must confess when I see MM I think Meghan rather than Mermaids then I check which board. It can be a little disconcerting at times 😆

The TRAs who are aggressively dominating the debate are TW because they are biologically male, with all the hormonal, physical reality of that, plus were raised with male entitlement, as a PP says.

Men tend to dominate things. TW are biologically male and have been socialised as men for decades so they have all the power of the patriarchy behind them. It's all about them. It was ever thus. Poor men.
