Men who affirm TW

This is something I've wondered for a while and a post from a woman on FB asking/stating the same thing prompted me to ask everyone's opinions on this.

I have noticed a large proportion of Trans Idealogues on both FB and Reddit go absolutely berserk when someone points out that TW are not, in fact women, but oddly, a large proportion of them are men.

Now I completely understand the women that have bought into this notion as women generally speaking tend to be more empathetic for their fellow human so are more likely to go along with 'be kind'. But what about the swathes of seemingly normal, gender conforming men that support it? I don't know a single man other than one in real life (who's daughter is apparently now a 'she') that support the idea that TW are women. What is their motive for this?

I've come to the conclusion that they're a bit thick, haven't considered all the issues the trans ideology raises and are predominantly left leaning types who subscribe to virtue signaling.

I've wasted my time with both men and women on social media this week (no idea what possessed me to bother tbh) on the issue of gender affirming 'care' and puberty blockers and have been patronised and shut down, called a dumbo when challenging 'data' and told I shouldn't have an opinion on the basis I don't claim to know any trans people.

It's misogyny - from both sexes - dressed up as superior thinking, open mindedness and kindness.

I think the clue is ‘seemingly normal’.

I think, underneath all control
and civilisation, men are only just held in from all sorts of fascinations and fantasies.

Maybe tgey think it could be them, or maybe they are attracted in some instances.

I think normal men just don’t want to think about them at all and get a bit of an ick (the guys who gave mentioned it to me anyway). The LGBTQ army like the opportunity to bully women and feel righteous about it.

Is my very simplistic take from casual life observations.

Most men are not interested in this topic unless they, or someone they know, are LGBTQ+ or they are some type of university activist.

They don't really think that TW are W as very few of the men who trot out the claim that TWAW are actually prepared to date or have sex with a TW.

Wasn’t there a famous one on Twitter who said that ‘TWAW but not for dating purposes because I like very feminine women’

My sample of one says that the transwoman at work would "make him feel really odd" if they shared a loo or otherwise had to think of him/her as a man, because you'd "never know she wasn't a woman".

Except, as I pointed out, he does know, doesn't he?

Men are scared of gender none conformity

Also, it gives them an excuse to threaten violence to women who disagree.

Many men are extremely sexist and believe that men are people who are "masculine" and women (or non-men) are people who are "feminine", so they lap up an ideology that doesn't challenge this.

I think for some men, they reject TW as belonging to the same group as them so the only alternative is that TW must be women.
