Interesting read about the type of males in tech and gaming, and the crossover between incel attitudes and trans.
"^The proliferation of transitioning programmers is anti-intuitive. Women's status is below that of men in tech jobs and online gaming circles. Women are disparaged in the crudest and most sexually violent terms for living life on Easy Mode, a choice in gaming that serious players disdain. These incels and men’s rights adherents who haunt Reddit and Twitch are bent out of shape by the fact that women are allowed to vote. They ask ‘If women are equal, why can’t we punch them?’
Women, they reason, don’t even need to jostle up the male hierarchy and steal men’s opportunities in the workplace. Women can start an OnlyFans, or barter childbearing for room and board provided by a man, or hustle for tips in a tank top. Women never have to do anything Hard, because men will do it for them in exchange for sex. Monetizing one’s female biology is the definition of Easy Mode for the men’s rights set, and resentment of Easy Mode is the infrasound of their grievance.^"

"Self-ID is the Easy Mode brass ring. It grants all men entry through any public door a woman closes behind her. Following her inside puts her back in her place, under the eye and at the disposal of men. It is punitive redress for Easy Mode. It is especially telling that trans activists are not interested in fighting for equal recognition and facilities of their own. Only women’s rights will do."
