I gotta say transmen are some of the biggest handmaidens and that says a lot about gender roles and identity

They sure are. Trans men are the leaders of the sorrowful victim narrative, but as soon as no one is listening they turn into tantruming baby level end bosses.

Handmaidens? Is that like a reference to the Handmaiden's Tale?

I thought handmaidens are cis LGB sympathizers? Like "quislings"?

a handmaiden is typically any female who advocates on behalf of men, even when she thinks she's advocating for something else entirely. A good example is "feminists" who think that feminism should intersect with and include transwomen.

Oh I have no idea, that's why I was asking. Sorry, I am still learning the lingo.

So sort of like someone who does trans bidding for them? That makes sense.

If you google "handmaidens of the patriarchy" it will make more sense.
