It's diabolically brilliant in its simplicity.
And I'm not talking about the twitter drones who vomit up the talking points as easily as they say orange man bad. Those people are little more than bobble heads that manage speech somehow.
No, I'm talking about the thought leaders.
As long as the person is doing what they want and is given accolades and public opinion is in their favor, they can sing the 'woman's' favor and call people critical of them misogynist and buzzword, buzzword, buzzword.
The minute that 'woman' fucks up or steps outside the plantation, BAM! They're a man again, and it's all the fault of the patriarchy.
It's basically win-win. They can play the girl-power card when they're up and patriarchy poker when their down.
Some of them. Some of them are washed up athletes and celebrities looking for an easy path to glory, a tiny fraction have a genuine mental disorder, and some of them are simply young adults and teens desperately seeking acceptance in a world of social media that's made the world so small that none of us feel like we fit in the room anymore.
Imagine being in highschool in this day and age and having to compete for attention with not just your own school's kids, but every kid your age with access to a cellphone. There's adults who have trouble with that crap, I can see why teens would do almost anything for attention in that atmosphere.
Regarding marxism, It's not just a tool to tear down western society. It legitimately fits into their collectivist ideology, particularly when you look at their obsession with "equality" at any cost. How can we be equal if there are two distinct genders? Transgenderism allows them to further blur the distinctions between people while giving them a mask of "sensitivity."
