Two things. 1. The original page is much better. http://4thwavenow.com 2. As this page points out, there is an underlying problem of social sites promoting incestual amplification. (It is hardly limited to the left: members of conservative forums have convinced each other that Trump is the greatest president since... well I dunno. Forever.) But I wonder just how big this community of the very wackiest trans parents actually is. Just 100 would be enough to generate a lot of reposts.
ok, i did a little research. The most rabid supporter of trans rights in sports is ... wait for it ... Rachel McKinnon, the first trans winner (in that much-cited bike race. Hannah Mouncey (Australian handball) shows up often, too. Meanwhile, there are any number of "fourth wave feminists" getting interviewed all over left-off center media. So there is a certain bias in tbe stories you are posting. A better title is "Who's afraid of Rachel McKinnon". 3am, obviously, and a few other much-cited web sites. So: yes it is a problem. But you keep mis-estimating the scope. Solve editorial cowardice, and the problem largely goes away.
I'll see your Male/Female metaphysical binary and raise you one Guy With a Girlfriend / Guy Without a Girlfriend ontology
