In all honesty it's more amazing that there are leftist guys who don't transition. There's no compelling heroic narrative for men on the left. There's really no room for them at all.
On the Left, women, queers and minorities are all given the role of underdog champions fighting evil systems and restrictive traditions. Real David-and-Goliath, enmervating, monomythic hero narratives. It's understanding why that would be compelling to them. Men, though, are told to shut the fuck up and sit in shame. Apologize for being born that way. The Left treats men as disposable at best, if not downright inconvenient to their goals. A leftist male is counterproductive to them, it runs against the narrative.
So when men try to stay in these ideologies, it makes sense it would wear them down over time. There will never be enough for the Left to let them off the hook. They will always be guilty of the original sin, a Y chromosome. They are misogynistic, racist, sexist, violent, and evil, all by default.
The Leftist men think "I'm not like that! I don't beat women, I think they should be allowed of the kitchen, I think they should be able to vote! I support gay rights, and don't judge people for their skin color." So, to the Leftist, the logical conclusion is that they aren't men.
So they can jump to the absolute top of the oppression ladder-- the most untouchable, beyond-reproach, deferred-to identity on the Left: trans. All it takes is a wig, a name change and nothing left to lose.
I think a man being an idpol leftist is an unsustainable state. Sooner or later, that superposition has to collapse. So either they go the Right, they go towards class-essentialist leftism, or they stop being a man. And when there are social and financial incentives for them to not leave the community, transitioning becomes the path of least resistance.
These guys want to believe that they don't match what the Left thinks men are. Rather than questioning that definition of manhood, they question their manhood itself. Then they transition, and finally they can have a break from being treated as the root of all evil.
So again, the question is, why WOULDN'T a Breadtube male transition?
