I agree Brillo but only with the caveat that I think both of the things you mention are across the board; there is sexism against women AND men on here, and there is ageism against the old AND the young. And none of it is taken very seriously, although sexism against females is taken the most seriously (Truth's permanent ban is evidence of that).
Taking the trans issue as an example; the main reason it irks me so much isn't really any transphobia or trans rights issue. It's the fact that the entire discussion is infused with misandry and outright androphobia. It took some self reflection to realise that.
