These young guys posting on Reddit - the ones who claim to be Leftists - are they pretending to be feminists as well as trans fans? What I mean is that do these men just not see how women's rights aren't compatible with trans' demands, or do they see it and just not care?

Personally I only go to women’s subs, so I can’t comment much on what the guys are thinking. When they send me harassing PMs, they certainly seem hostile to women’s rights/women in general however.

I do find that there are women of varying ages who see this crap for what it is. Hints are dropped where possible but outright conversations are disallowed by Reddit.

So creepy that women aren't allowed to talk about women's right on the world's largest online forum (I think?). How the F did we get here?

Big money behind the TIMs and an already woman-hating population ready to eat their misogyny up.

But women - There are women in power now, why the F aren't they fighting back?

I afraid that many of them are in power only because they were pandering to men, so they were allowed to gain power. Otherwise they would be shut down and their raising would be much harder.

An excellent question. Sadly girls & women are still brainwashed into male worship and people pleasing with surprising rigour. Add in the ever-present notion that a woman’s worth is predicated on marriage and reproduction, and the result is a terrible mind set. Women that have the strength to defy all of this are few and they get targeted for being brought down. It can be enough of a struggle just for her to hold her own, let alone fight against violent TIM misogyny in her own workplace. We need more women in power to combat all of this. Strength in numbers.
