What the transgender movement has brought into very sharp focus is that misogyny is endemic. It has no respect for class, colour, creed or politics. Men just don't see women as equals as a class
As I see it, people are so befuddled by right and wrong think, and being seen to be politically correct, that the radical TRA movement has been able to sail in under the radar.....free from question or scrutiny. Many people don't know what to think, so they just choose to think or support the 'correct' thing.
That the Beaumont Society, which used to be an organisation founded for cross dressing men and their long suffering wives, is now a fully fledged transgender organisation; and that the concept of what being transgender is, and means, has been so stretched that it now includes a whole raft of quite diverse people - is lost on the general public.......They've no idea.
My feeling is that the whole TRA movement is being manipulated by a certain demographic within that community - those, usually male, with social power, authority and wherewithal - for their own ends; even if it means that vulnerable young women & children get caught up in the net, at substantial cost to themselves.
That and the power of the big American pharmaceuticals looking for new markets. And, of course, the popularity on American university campuses for imposing queer theory onto absolutely everything...so that students are being led to have to read even Shakespeare through a post-modernist/queer lens.......
