Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that's literally causing death and suffering

Hypermasculinity’s “oppressors” include flowers, rainbows, other people choosing to wear dresses, a functioning government, and welfare.

Trans folks oppressors are the hypermasculine.

I'm not saying any specific group of people are always oppressed, just that if they are your previous statement is incorrect.

I understand your point. It’s just good to highlight the things that make these groups oppressed. For the hypermasculine it’s anything that hurts their little feelings, and for trans people it is actual real persecution. And only one of these groups goes around screaming about the victim complex these days 🙄

If you're pointing out imperfections in the argument, then you're automatically a radical example of the other side. /S
