Tate doesn't preach masculinity he preaches abuse, a sad and underfoot brand of "poor oppressed little me!" masculinity that is indeed toxic. Not all masculinity is toxic, that's never what the phrase has meant, there's just a brand of it that is and that's exactly the type Tate pushed on young minds. It's not strength though, he pushes a mindset that makes these boys feel anything but strong. It makes them feel weak, frustrated and angry and they then take that out on others.

As for your theory about LGBTQ being promoted to diminish masculinity - that doesn't work either, because currently more than 75% of trans people, especially young trans people, are female to male not male to female. It's actual biological females, pumping themselves full of testosterone to make themselves MORE masculine. And testosterone is much more effective than Male to Female hormones.

If the plan is to make everyone "less masculine" it's not going very well if large numbers of females are literally turning themselves into men is it?
