It's a humiliation ritual perpetrated by elites.

Either that or an idiocy ritual perpetuated by idiots who don't want to look bad for not catering to even dumber idiots. Might even be both. Hell, probably is both.

Agreed. The funny part is, the target of the humiliation ritual (working class and middle class men , as no one thinks women actually matter in their own right) don't even realize they're the target. They're supposed to feel shame that their daughters can be forced to parade in the nude for any teen boy psychopathic enough to proclaim he's a trans "girl" and hence entitled to the girls' showers, that their wives cannot safely use a public restroom or gym. But they think it's what women deserve, for wanting to actually go to university and get a career, instead of just being housewives. A lot of them take that view, per what I see online anyway.

We must spend time in very different spaces online, I've seen that view occasionally, often from bitter men failed by a university or court system that doesn't know how to handle anything properly and for some godforsaken reason blaming all women everywhere instead of overgrown bureaucracy and policymakers with their heads up their asses, but it's almost always low-vote and buried under loads of comments with a different perspective. I see the not realizing that they're the target constantly, but it's because they don't realize it's a humiliation thing, they just think "oh, hey, men wearing makeup are on the news, what the hell did those fuckers that look straight out of the freakshow at the county fair do to end up there now? Commit a sex crime? Gross, always knew those damn Democrats were perverts. Win women's sports? Hehey, it's so weird it's nearly comedy! Get in a culture war battle with a feminist or some gay people? Grab the popcorn, hippie fight!".

Most things that seem so extreme that they would have to be fringe groups are, and most people are on the periphery of knowledge on any given issue and don't truly understand its significance. Remember, most people don't live and breathe politics, only those forced into it by circumstance and the power-hungry.
