Here's what nobody wants to admit about this whole thing: trannies rose very fast in the movement because they really are just men. Men are better than women at debating, manipulating, creating complicated systems, leadership, and basically being an imposing figure. You'll notice TERFs, for all the press against them, are basically just being women saying "leave us alone, men are scary in lady spaces." That's it, they're still dumb feminists who suck at being logical which is why a bunch of insane men in dresses can literally just barge in and walk all over them.
Even watching trannies debate, you can see it's very masculine and male in how they engage, actual women don't argue like men and it becomes plainly obvious as the inner spiritual autism inherent in every man comes out. You can even see this with pedophiles, male pedophiles will always be employing this weird almost philosophical rationality about age, and the nuanced politics about the age of consent, all that MAP rebranding everyone is sick of. And when one of the many women pedophiles get caught, all I've ever heard them say is "I fell in love with him it's not fair."
Which is to say, if these inarguably insane men wanted to take over the entire movement, they probably could.
