Who benefits? The right benefits from having this sledge hammer to beat the left over the head with. Dollar for dollar it's probably the most effective propaganda tool the right has ever possessed. Enemies of the West benefit from the confusion, strife, and demoralization the issue causes across the board in western countries. Activist groups benefit from having a continued raison d'etre now that gay rights has been largely won. The medical lobby benefits from the influx of new patients.

The only people who are getting screwed are the useful idiots themselves, and women, who apparently nobody really cares about anyway, even other women.

This is the most important answer to your question. All signs point to tremendous Chinese influence on Western institutions, US in particular. Say what you want about their society, but they know how to play the long game.

The side explanation is that trans ideology is the perfect weapon, along with "hate speech" platitudes, to permanently destroy free speech. Who benefits?
