    They’re all miserable.

    I have a theory that they hate gays/trans folk because they’re repressed and are angry they can’t live their best lives.

      They are repressed, but not (necessarily) because they’re secretly queer. Patriarchy requires men to repress their emotions and their empathy, and it requires women to repress their joy and passion. So of course they’re dysphoric at being stuck in a gender role where they can’t cultivate a hobby to infodump about or where they can’t cry or cuddle when their soul still wants those things.
