Basically because women supported transsexuals because they assumed they were all gay men having an identity crisis, so not a threat to them and they actually put effort into passing and fitting in.

However in the transgender movement 90% of mtf are actually straight men with a fetish so they are a big threat. They are literally perverts letting their dicks control their lives.

Letting those people into women's spaces would cause crimes and lead to a backlash against all troons and all of them would be kicked out of the women's, which is now something people are campaigning for so he has been proved right.

I have trouble buying that 90% figure. Online absolutely, there are lots of people who transition their online persona to act out a trans fetish, it may even be higher than 90%. But in real life not so much, the stakes are far higher and a real transition would destroy the kink. Self-ID'd transvestites exist, but you don't see them every day. This is why so many trans forum moderators turn out to not be so in real life. Or if they are, they only crossdress, and aren't on hormones or only took them just enough to grow breasts.

I would say real transsexuals are definitely a minority, but there are other false positives. Such as trying to gain access to womens' bathrooms and locker rooms, cheat at sports, or probably most commonly, the social contagion or confusion induced by "professionals". "You like pink so you definitely can't be a man!". Or lies such as "this is why your life sucks, if you transition everything will be solved!".

The 90% figure comes from Blanchard who did years of research into men wanting to transition.

If anything, it's even higher now.

Blanchard only supposes two causes, and any case not caused by internalized homophobia he assumes is AGP. But there is also the social contagion, being groomed, wanting special treatment, confusion, trying to take advantage of women, wanting to fit in, mental disorders, gender dysphoria, and many more. Of course he did his research before the trans agenda, so most of the causes we have now barely existed back then; and genuine gender dysphoria is rare enough that those cases could have easily been overlooked as anomalies.

I also think having an online outlet might actually decrease irl AGPers.

Ah I see. Yeah it wasn't something I ever would have thought of either until it became obvious.
