Just came across this and almost thought it should have its own thread (and if anyone wants to start one please do). Wasn't sure as written by and man, but appropriately here! But as it is about gay men it links to some of the issues raised by the OP.
Meet the mean boys of trans activism
How a loud bunch of gay men became the chief online enforcers of a homophobic ideology.
These men are conspicuously not very bright. They consider it likely that lesbians and gay men of the left who have spent decades fighting for gay rights all suddenly decided to become far-right haters of effeminate men and butch women one Wednesday afternoon in April 2015. They rant and rave about standing with their ‘trans siblings’, failing to notice that a very great proportion of that cohort are heterosexual men who merely enjoy cross-dressing and / or gatecrashing lesbian speed-dating events. They have somehow overlooked the well-evidenced fact, backed up by the Cass Review, that girls and boys who don’t conform to sex stereotypes are being led down the path of chemical castration and mutilation. All of this counts for nothing because it interferes with their Napoleonic levels of self-regard, and the opportunities that the noxious combination of social media and gender ideology gives to their appalling flaws.
Joining in with them are the ‘allies’, the uni-educated Poppys and Sheridans – heterosexuals of similarly rabid character who want a little taste of aggro. ‘Allies’ has really changed as a word. When one tunes in to a documentary about the Second World War nowadays and the voiceover says something like ‘By 1941 the Allies had taken Tobruk’, it’s hard not to picture a load of posh little twerps with 2:2s from the University of Winchester advancing tutting across the desert, sparkling with glitter and bedecked in rainbow lanyards.
The Twitter enforcers have been particularly awful when it comes to the hounding of the homespun LGB Alliance (funded entirely by public donations). They frequently describe this small assembly of lesbians and gay men as a ‘far-right hate group’ – despite the fact that many of them have been gay-rights campaigners for decades. Some were actually prominent in Stonewall before it became a trans-rights lobby group. The uh-oh men and their allies started tweeting this before the LGB Alliance even had a name. All it took was for barrister Allison Bailey to tweet that she’d met with some mates to discuss setting up an exclusively LGB campaign group, and genderist social media erupted with accusations of a new Kristallnacht. (A reminder here that Bailey is a black lesbian criminal-defence barrister with a lengthy history of advocating for racial equality and for representing the survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse. An unlikely Nazi, you would think.)
