Male support for Transwomen, just another branch of misogyny?

Looking on FB at some of the responses to the boxing in Paris has go me thinking about the reasons behind male support of transwomen in women's sports and spaces.

I've seen so many men cracking jokes about the female losing and supporting transwomen in women's sport. Again with lots of jokes but support for the wins, non the less.

Looking at several of the profiles they seemed to fit a mold, angry gym types with a distain for women. Old stereotypes about women, poor taste jokes, memes etc

So do they support transwomen? Or have they found a new way to keep women down? By agreeing that TWAW and revelling in the fact women are getting beaten up in an officially sanctioned way?

I can't see any other reason for these men, who are not in any other way outwardly supportive of LGB issues on their timeliness or bios, to be so supportive of TW and the destruction of women's safety and achievements.

Is it just a new way to keep women down by propping TW(men) up?

Also quite a lot of men hate feminists and see this as a way of getting back at them- "you wanted equality so suck it up".

Yeah you’ve nailed it.

They are just revelling in women being beaten, physically, medal-wise or otherwise.

Gross but at least not as disingenuous as the ones who insist there’s no advantage because their feelz are womanly.
