Persecuting trans folks keeps men and women in their “appropriate” boxes. And — crucially — keeps them seeing each other as opponents.
The vast majority of men are worse off under patriarchy than they would be if we had real gender equity.
But as long as those in power are constantly threatening your masculine privileges in case you question the regime, most men will fall in line — and most women will understandably be skeptical of men who claim to advocate for men’s liberation.
Meanwhile, trans panic keeps attention on whether women are being sufficiently feminine and therefore fulfilling their “duty” as sex maids.
Honestly, if you wanna disguise your love of patriarchy as something else, trans issues are a great way to do it.
