I feel ridiculous saying this but sometimes I wonder if this was all started by Russian troll farms, putting it out there that transpeople are the most oppressed group ever and that anybody who questions trans ideology is transphobic, until people started to believe it. For what reason, I don’t know.
Hey, why are Russians always the bad guys? I think your theory has some merit though. It definitely smacks of the divide and rule tactics used by the right to make the left destroy itself. Setting feminists against the LGBTQ-can't-remember-the-rest-of-the-acronym woke types. It can't be as lucrative as Brexit though.
