Granted. You have now emboldened a group of entitled misanthropes by giving them what they want, and now they think that being a misanthrope is how to get what you want. Meanwhile, you've forced a large number of women to enter into abusive relationships with guys who hate them for not being mere sex slaves, all while they publicly shame them to each other.

Did you honestly think this would have any positive outcome?

I’d rather they lost the illusion that having a trophy girlfriend is an important signifier of status

Half of them realize they’re trans, and they pair up. They’re all still miserable.
