If transwomen were women, there would be no need for large glaring headlines proclaiming it. No one has to do headlines saying “Women are Women!” or “Men are Men!” And while there have been some dark periods in our past where people of color were not recognized as fully people, it wasn’t big glaring headlines declaring “Black Women are Women!” that changed hearts and minds. It was honest hard work and the obvious reality that, in fact, black women ARE women.
Just as many conservatives dislike something solely because it is popular amongst the Left, there are those on the left who like something solely because the right dislike it. I believe the trans-rights movement is, in large part, a byproduct of such thinking.
I am someone who has loathed right wing, religiously driven thinking for most of my life, but just because my ideological opponents hold a position on an issue, it does not follow that I must have the 180 degree opinion on it. We all know the saying about broken clocks.
The “socialist” aspect of trans rights is, for many of them, simply because they know the right hates it. It’s just as shallow, knee jerk, thoughtless a reaction as when average right wingers hate electric vehicles, despite not being in the oil business – they hate electric cars because the “vibe” of caring about the environment and thinking beyond the end of your nose strikes them as “lefty”. Same with trans rights – the Left like it because it’s all about, allegedly, acceptance, sexual minority protection and because it makes the right wingers really mad, and the “vibe” it gives off is all about rebelling against “normies” and peace and love and supporting people
The fact that the trans movement is completely illogical, goes against commonly accepted definitions and ignores basic genetics matters not. The viiiibbbbeeeess man, its all about those feel good socialist vibes! It feeeeeeeels Left wing, it feeeeeeeels rebellious, it feeeeeeeeels so good to annoy the right.
You can’t argue with them on logic. They didn’t arrive at their conclusion by using logic.

Excellent point.

Right next to the blurb about toxic masculinity.
The irony.
It’s right there.
How do they not see it?
