Yes. Also true about views on women. Conservatives believe gender is directly tied to biological sex and cannot be altered from the 1950s view. "If you are a boy you must play football, if you are a girl you must play with dolls."

Trans ideology ignores biological sex and tries to erase it in women, but it puts gender in its place as something fixed. "If you play football you must be a boy. If you play with dolls you must be a girl."

So the two ideologies share a lot, and also sit at the ends of the horseshoe. Authoritarian thinking is what the end-points share, as well as black-and-white-no-nuances thinking.

Thinking in black and white is easy, that's probably what's so attractive about this world view. If the terms male and female are only about what reproductive role you could potentially fulfill, you could be anyone aside from that, and that leaves a lot of gray. So people try to get the boxes back so they can push people into them again. All neat and easy again.

The only exception here seems to be the "non binary" people, who do recognize shades of gray, but seem to think they're the only ones in that area.

That about sums it up

Often times the TRAs are also simultaneously conservative MRAs e.g. ContraPoints and Blaire White (now I know what some people are thinking: "Original Commenter, doesn't Blaire White make some videos where he criticizes the trans agenda?" IMO, he doesn't go far enough in criticizing the trans agenda, and only criticizes the trans agenda for the sake of political convenience (there has been a video on his channel where Blaire's BF insisted that he was straight and Blaire agreed with him, much to my chagrin, and unfortunately, no one called this out in the comments))

what a coincidence! It's almost like they're actually men...who only care are men. TRA and MRA ideology align perfectly.

Hate to break the news but...lesbians have been othered by gay men for the longest time. When a heterosexual in the past has said "Oh she's gay?" The gay male would always reply "Well...she's not reallly gay like us"

That word homo really applies only to gay men. So how many gay men are out protecting lesbians and straight women from their vicious attack dogs? If you notice very little action it's because transactivism is all apart of what gay men have been pushing for this whole time. The erasure of women so they can groom men into trying gay sex instead and porn is a big tool pushing for just that as well as all male circles. They want women chased out. Pedos have always been apart of gay rights activism until politicians weren't going to do any favors over the pedophiles allowed to openly be in the circle.

Now look at what's going on. You think gay men aren't in on this?? The silence speaks volumes.
