Feminism generally sees itself as advocating for women's interests and from what we've seen from stats on dating sites, women generally don't want effeminate short clumsy men.
Lesbians are bearing 90% of the brunt on this, of course, being shamed and guilted into having sex with men.
Gay rights and women's rights are going out the window and I'm highly concerned about it but nobody seems to care.
Yeah, I heard about that and it seemed super-strange. I mean, lesbian or not, I have the right to have sex with whoever I want, not the other way round, no? Forcing someone to have sex is sexual harassment and should be punished, not supported/endorsed by anyone.
I think what OP means is that if lesbians refuse to have sex with trans men (male-to-female) who declare themselves as women, they (the lesbians) are marked as transphobes. As contorted as it is.

You get rejected, you think life is over and come across those who preach the same way, "the problem is them, not you". You start to breathe in the poison and the next thing is that you on the same path of their toxic fumes.
Media has altered the act of sex from being a special act of intercourse between two consensual parties, normally to conceive a child and turned it in to on-demand gratification. All so they get your $5 and you can get your short dopamine hit; a drug. Artists do the same with cartoon imaginary. The difference is one is pseudo-real (real humans) and the other based on imagination.
Before the recent recognition of modern gender normalities, women were the first class to be objectified as to preform acts to man; which are not just limited to just porn. Ancient Greek used women in the same way "to obtain strength before the fight". Men used women to cook, clean the house. "House wives" and the male view has been wrong ever since. The view is changing but it is still very heavy lingering.
I conclude that as we all now live in a society where we all fear each other. Pornography is evil and blatant, artists can draw vile imaginary. Pornographers create trafficking which then exploited to suck money out of yourself. Lets not forget the other side of the coin, the dark side where kids, babies are abducted and forced.
We don't really express emotions anymore. That in part turns the whole nature of something special in to an toxic stew. The internet can act as a giant soap box; great but this then allows those with toxicity to linger and enlist those. And thas we are back to the beginning of the cycle.
Lack of education, mass produced pornography, mass produced self-exposure, the objective of that porn is okay. All contribute to why we are living in such a negative distressful unexciting dystopian world.
Where you now have separation of "normies" and "internet folk" and where the internet folk are angry because "normies" get all the "action".
I just dunno anymore, just prints the internet as a failure in my eyes. It can, has done great things but whats plaguing its next generation is porn.
For instance males are expected to "get females off" in sex even if she's as lively in bed as a dead fish, males got anxiety about this and being mocked for failing to "get it up" that they resort to viagra.
And it's not because feminism is inherently evil, no it is good, but it's framework is not design for male, and their issues, it's why you will only hear dog bones from feminism about "males feelings", which is just 1 small part of the problem for males.
It doesnt help either that while negative norms and expectations for females have somewhat disappeared, positive ones are very much alive (never date down).
It's why egalitarianism is the way forward because males issues and female issues are considered equal (different from
