It often blinds them to the reality that the large amount of straight trans-identified women are also largely driven by a fetishization of homosexual couples and that lesbian trans-identified women are attention-seeking and aggressive a-holes just as much as any trans-identified man, and not the innocent poor helpless manipulated lesbians they often want to paint them as.

I know this is a tough pill to swallow, but I really agree with this. Women are humans. They are not innately more "wonderful" than men, and they are not immune to abusing people or power. I say that as a woman who has been abused by women, and who is trying to learn to be proud of being a woman. We 1000% are the disadvantaged sex in terms of how we have been treated, and simultaneously, at the end of the day we are just humans.

I kind of wonder if it is a sort of benevolent sexism going on, or maybe just personal bias of the posters. I will say, I do think there are a lot of misguided, nonviolent female transmen, who were pressured into transitioning. But saying none are contributing to the problem in a coercive fashion is not reflective of reality.
