Because that is literally how the show describes itself? "An anthology series exploring a twisted, >>>high-tech<<< multiverse where humanity's greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide."
If you go into a bar that from the outside advertises itself as "beer bar" and you go in and you find out they only serve wine you are going to be disappointed. They set themselves up for this. They should've just started a new IP, but Hollywood figured out that riding on the coattails of already established IPs is way easier.
I didn't even hate this season; i thought it was fairly great except for episode 1. I enjoyed all the episodes, but it wasn't what i expected of Black Mirror. It felt more like an American Horror Story spin off sometimes. If i had to rate them as Black Mirror episodes they would all be below 5 stars. If i would rate them without the Black Mirror IP in mind i would probably on average give the entire season an 8.
I think the issue here is that pro-trans people see a difference between man/woman and male/female. Where man/woman refers to "gender" and male/female refers to "sex". Gender is a made up term from the 70s and refers to things like gender roles in society. Gender can basically be whatever you want it to be, cause it is an (observed) idea, and not a factual statement like sex is. Being a woman or a man is a reality, not an identity; but this is not how pro-trans people think, which means that when you argue with them you are both already arguing in a different reality.
You will find a lot of languages around the world who do not have a word for "gender". This is why a lot of (normal) people see the trans movement for what it is: extremely misogynistic (or misandrist, but i would argue not as much). The trans movement is basically saying that when you alter yourself in a certain way and adopt certain behaviors you too can become the other gender, because again, gender is just a "social construct". This is extremely harmful for both men and women in society, and especially young boys and girls. A girl with boyish interests is NOT a man, and vice versa. A woman with short hair is NOT a man, and a man with long hair is NOT a woman. The trans agenda wants to make you believe otherwise tho. This is an extremely toxic way of thinking, and if anything they are enforcing gender roles harder than most incels do.
I think that's why most people fail to properly have a discussion with trans-activists because most people see male/man and female/woman as synonymous. Whereas pro-trans people see a difference, that's why you rarely hear them use terms as "male" or "female" because it is rooted in reality; gender is just made up.
