The weird thing is I swear I remember some TwoX post that got super upvoted several years ago (like 2014 if I had to guess) asking if trans women were allowed. I'm trying to imagine how insane someone would have sounded saying if you tolerated them they would eventually take over. Yet they would have been completely right.

There was a really insightful comment I read somewhere recently explaining why they tend to take over online groups for women and lesbians: because they tend to become community moderators, because they make the time for it, because whether they want to admit it or not, it's a fetish.

When you're an actual woman or lesbian, being such is just one aspect of your life, and just what you happen to be. You tend to have other things that need tending to, like your hobbies, your kids, etc.

But when you're male participating in these groups, being a woman or lesbian is your hobby. You enjoy it, so you make the time for it. And because you put time on, you end up moderating the community, policing women, bringing in more like-minded people that engage in more policing, and because so many of these men indulge themselves online, the communities get overrun.
