It's one of those unintended consequences of anti-discrimination laws. Up there with it being illegal to refuse a pregnant woman alcohol or keep men out of Women in STEM clubs at universities.
If it were the law, men could've just gone as themselves. No, it was pure wokism. The organizers invited women (troons, too) and slugs, ok to self-id, they got men self-id'ing as slugs.
The male handmaidens confuse me. What’s their motivation? Misogyny and/or being chasers? I think it’s often those things, but that doesn't feel like a satisfactory explanation. The female libtards generally just suffer from naivety/toxic empathy/moral righteousness but again doesn’t feel like that explains the male troonlovers.
Misogyny.
Many men feel solidarity with each other and hate women, therefore they help troons attack women. Speaking of anti-discrimination, I am reminded of exclusive men's clubs which admitted troons (as troons -- dress, makeup, female name, the works) but not normal women or pooners. Yale's secret societies started admitting open faggots over a decade before they admitted women. High-status "conservative" men aren't nearly as conservative and/or anti-gay as they pretend to be.
Many men hate when women tell them No and love to have a cheat code to break into women's spaces, even if they aren't currently interested in trooning out. "Oh, you say I can't go into women's toilets? I totally can. I'm not in the mood right now, but I can whenever I want to." There are a few males in this thread cooming to troons beating women at sports: "I so could win a sports title if I ever wanted to."
Some people, provided they can think in hypotheticals at all (IQ 80+), are susceptible to voting against their own self-interest because they like to imagine themselves on the other side and sympathize with that imaginary version of themselves ("temporarily embarrassed millionaires"). It's even easier to get them to sympathize with troon-themselves (they
could be troons) against women (they will
never be women).
And there are woke, well-funded male influencers. Weak, loser men follow strong men, identify with them and adopt their pro-troon values, because they love being on the winning side for once.
Also many gay men are just woman haters tbh, and may view themselves as saviours of their currently "oppressed" fellow LGBTBBQ community members, while not caring about the consequences for women.
Until the pooners start demanding they fuck their "male pussy" or front holes.
Pooners are powerless, they're not a threat to gays. Plus many gay men
love women mutilating themselves. The whole of "beauty" and "high fashion" is "gay men making women mutilate themselves".
