The idea of "toxic masculinity", "toxic feminity", "toxic whiteness" etc. means "the way you are born is not acceptable and you need to be formed into something else". This is not a way to build a society. Don't privilege or punish identities, build shared purpose for all.
How can you distinguish that from reshaping and opressing others, once you have adopted the view that freedom is somehow zero sum (own freedom = privilege – opression by privileged)? Progressivism is not liberal anymore, ie it does not believe in creating freedom for everyone.

I'm sorry, I have literally no idea where you got your 'zero-sum-game' from. How does this relate to anything I've been saying? I'm also stunned by how you got some kind of threat of oppression from a mere offer, a path towards liberation that has opened up by feminist theory

I don’t think that an identity based theory can liberate everyone. Even if it can provide an important local counterweight.
