I feel like so much of this is, in some cases, a reaction to anti-racist and feminist politics. Many people feel like victims though the stats don't support their feelings. So instead of being a reviled white woman, killing black men with her misplaced tears, one can be a genderqueer demiboy and immediately claim marginalisation. As a marginalised person one can again confidently centre oneself in all discussions.

Similarly transcels think that if they're "strong independent lesbian women" rather than cis white men they get permission to neckbeard aggressively all over the place without being chastised
