“Does it not seem to you that radical trans activism seems like it was devised by true misogynists to undermine feminism?"

Hi Brian! Welcome! Hmm, I don't know about this. I tend not to ascribe conscious motivation to social movements. There is undeniably a great deal of misogyny to be found in trans activist/ally circles. But was trans activism *devised* for this purpose? Are males undergoing gender reassignment surgery, and facing significant amounts of abuse and discrimination, because they want to undermine feminism? Do females who transition share this aim?

I think gender dysphoria is a real condition, I think "trans identity" has become a trendy form of rebellion for teenagers, many (most?) of whom don't actually have gender dysphoria, and I think "queer theory, which is a kind of postmodernism for sexuality and sexual identity, is a dangerous, regressive ideology which stands to do great harm to women and children.

Here's a video on the dangers of queer theory: https://youtu.be/Cb3-tlyuhVo

I think to do justice to this debate we need to find a way to tease these elements apart. I believe that people with gender dysphoria are suffering and need help and support. I believe this support shouldn't come at the expense of women's rights and safety. I believe the safeguards and boundaries we've built up to protect women and children should be modified with extraordinary caution, if at all.

People like Jared are ideologues. There's no actually thought happening there. Just mindless repetition of nonsensical, emotionally manipulative talking points in the hopes that the person he's speaking to is too timid or too unfamiliar with the topic to push back. But honestly, I don't think he even understands how misogynistic and creepy he is. I think he genuinely believes he's fighting the good fight. Probably because he was brainwashed by somebody when *he* was too unfamiliar or timid to push back.
