Genderism, which includes transgenderism, is a conservative ideology though. It posits that there's a particular way you're supposed to behave and dress based on your sex. Or that your sex should be based on the way you behave and dress. Making men and women into social roles is like one of the foundational tenets of conservatism. I sort of get it because we're a visually-oriented species (yes, that includes women) with a poor sense of smell and, honestly, over the entire species there's NOT a lot of dimorphism between the sexes other than at the genitalia and, well, we wear clothes! There's wide variation in heights, body hair, build, etc. otherwise. So maybe we developed some rules about appearance and behavior to make differentiating between men and women easier. But we took it to a pathological degree and now we use it to oppress. The point of feminism is to say, "Male and female are biological states, not prescriptions for every facet of living." As much as trans activists talk a great game about smashing the "gender binary" [sic], they only reinforce it by saying "of course this person's a woman, can't you see her makeup?" Give me a break.

Also, no one in power cares about trans men because duh, they know they're women.
