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.
