This article is behind a paywall, but this writer certainly nails it about the trans mob.  It is just the same old woman-haters, only wearing drag, by trying to tell women to shut up and let men walk all over them.

It's pretty obvious why.  Women are excluded because men exclude them in order to preserve their pay and bennies. Frankly, most "STEM" fields are boring shit and not all that fulfilling but wildly overrated by our male-dominated culture. We know that the minute women dominate a field, the pay and prestige go down. This is a result of the "family wage" mindset that says men deserve more money than women not because the jobs are harder, require more education, or are more skilled, but because men are providers for families, including a stay-at-home wife. Most "male" jobs have inflated pay because of the outdated concept they have wives at home who don't have paying jobs. They have been subsidized by employers with the extra money because of that belief. Most "women's" jobs are more fulfilling, are actually better jobs, but they are denigrated simply because of the notion they are supported by men. If I ruled the world, most men would make little more than minimum wage in "their" fields, and jobs instead would be compensated based on skills, education, and experience, with a few fields like police and fire fighting getting decent pay because of the inherent danger involved in those jobs and the need for people to do those jobs. But that is it.
