According to the woke narrative, gay men are supposedly the most privileged members of the LGBT.

Reality Check:

Countries that criminalize homosexuality: 70

Countries that criminalize transgenderism: 15

I find it insane that TRAs managed to convince people that trans people but especially trans women are the most oppressed minority group... and then you scratch your head as you see that in a shithole I live in, you can become trans with no problem (aside from some issues with changing ID but it's still possible with some law bending) while I can't marry a person of the same sex no matter what even law bending is impossible.

In the end, it's about the power of gender roles, the things we used to be fighting against.

Two men who profess their love for one another are violating prescribed gender roles, and they are punished as "gender traitors." (Atwood was right on that count.) Men who switch sides and call themselves women are seen as less of a threat.

Masculinity is still intensely policed for any sign of weakness.
