r/ftmcirclejerk is not unaware of the fact that trans women are men trying to silence all women and who don't care about anybody other than themselves. They arrive to different conclusions but they do see the truth, deep down.

I’m loathe to venture into reddit after their concerted effort to stifle women’s voices and yet this reddit thread is illuminating. As an observer, they’re invisible compared to TW. I have no doubt TM hold as much value as any other woman within male dominated environments.

Take World Rugby’s amended proposals for trans participation within the sport. TM are now able to participate amongst the men if they sign the necessary waver. No one cares. Verity Smith, a TM rugby player who was invited to speak on behalf of the trans community during proceedings, has been mostly ignored by irate TW who are furious that no actual TW rugby players were present. In other words, if you’re not a TW, you’re not really trans enough to warrant any significant merit.

I mean, in sports it's pretty obvious why there is an imbalance. TM don't really have a shot at participating against biological men, whereas TW will mop the floor with biological women.

The movement in general is so obviously male-dominated though. The fact that "trans women are women" is a set phrase and "trans men are men" is not tells you everything. Or that almost all the famous trans people are trans women. Or that trans men are not clamoring to get into male prisons like trans women are with women's prisons.
