I rarely post here, but as the OP practically invites a male opinion I’ll weigh in. I work in construction with a lot of different age, and education background, co-workers (most, but not all men). I think it’s a mistake to view men going along with the current trans religion as evidence of their misogyny, on this subject anyway. I’ve come to notice three particular reactions among co-workers when the subject comes up. (And, it only comes up when I happen to remark on something in the news, etc. Nobody, absolutely nobody wants to talk about this stuff. It’s dangerously radioactive when we’re constantly dunned about creating unsafe work environments by the office folks.) But when in small groups, talking freely while having lunch on a jobsite, there are three basic takes that I see over and over. (As I’m over sixty, I’ll start by age seniority...) Guys my age, or younger married guys with kids, just want to keep their head down and not make waves. One friend confides in me that he finds the issue as insane as I do, but he can’t say a word at home because his wife and two high school daughters are super-woke. 30ish guys all seem to accept the new regime as something they didn’t originally sign on for, but front office is calling the shots, so whatever. Young guys just out of college.... Jesus! They are all primed to parrot back what their girlfriends have just told them, in order to answer questions I sometimes pose. That’s true, they’re just going with whatever their girlfriends are saying.... High school girls in Connecticut trying to compete against other girls... Olympic athletes, same... Incarcerated women dreading newly trans sex-offender cellmates... Rape crisis centers ... Boardrooms breaking the glass ceiling with trans execs... “Well, my girlfriend says...”

All these issues become take-home assignments to be answered by their woke girlfriends.

I know the 1984 comparison gets way too overused these days, but at 62 I can say I’ve re-read that book in every decade since 1974, and it’s never seemed so prescient (and actually being played out!) until the present.

2+2= 3, 4, or 5. or any other sum... and whatever sum (or sums) must be believed fervently (not simply accepted for expedience). I never completely understood that as something one could consider outside the novel, on first reading and studying 1984. I now understand the tragic truth of that logic.
