It seems to me that their motives are entirely nefarious and woman-hating. I can't think of an innocent explanation for why you would want to keep your penis but expect to be treated as a woman.
You've answered your own question.
The trans-narrative, by its nature is misogynistic. Pink brain/blue brain. If I feel like this, it must make me a woman. Because that is how women feel.
Unfortunately, a lot of the men who identify as trans are cross dressing fetishists. This fetish is the very definition of misogyny. They like to be submissive, used, weak and humiliated. See forced feminisation, cissification, etc. Because that's how they perceive women.
Whereas they may not be moved to violence, specifically, they have massively flavoured the narrative with the misogyny that we are now seeing.
It's like a dog whistle to violent, sexist men everywhere. And the pushing of the idea that women are inferior, goes into overdrive when those women stand up for themselves.
A microcosm of that would be street harassment. A cat caller will generally shout at a woman to make her feel uncomfortable, and if she turns round and tells him to fuck off he will come back ten fold. Usually with a whole bunch of gendered insults.
It's horribly manipulative, circular behaviour. Women are inferior, let's drive that point home. Then if they have the gall to defend themselves, they use all the weapons in their arsenal, the most effective which is violence.
Unfortunately, the trans-ideology now says a man has to do jack shit to present as a woman. He almost doesn't even have to say he is trans.
It's almost not even about trans anymore, that's just the label by which a whole host of violent men can justify their hatred of women, using and exploiting the narrative.
It's imperative that the ideology is scrutinised and untangled. We cannot enter an era where men are allowed to hijack gender dysphoria in order to access, silence and abuse women.
