You know, OP, I used to be a lot more open-minded on the trans issue. "Why would I care that they want to live as another gender," I thought, "it doesn't effect anyone else and it makes them happy." So what happened? Well, to put it bluntly, the things that I laughed off ten years ago as crazy conspiracy theories of what would happen if this shit got affirmed now look tame in comparison to what is actually happening.
Imagine someone ten years ago saying that compelled speech laws and threats to parental rights to choose healthcare for your children were at risk in various western nations over the trans issue, schools would be secretly transitioning kids without informing their parents let alone getting their consent, men would be playing rugby and fighting in MMA against women, people would be getting death threats over saying that convicted male rapists should not be in prison with women, or that males should not be in battered women's shelters, cases of rape in a school bathroom would be covered up because the perpetrator was trans, and that someone would be defended by trans activists for having their dick out in the women's section of a spa... This person would've sounded like an extremist.
Now, that's all just the tip of the iceberg of what trans activists are demanding of society. The increasing amount of pushback you're seeing is entirely your own creation, many people did not give two shits about trans people until it started effecting their lives, their kid's education, etc. If you want to find out what is radicalizing those pesky transphobes, take a look in the mirror.
I do feel a little bad for the fags and trannies with GID (like 0.1% of modern trannies) who just want to live their life and be treated like a normal person, they are having their names dragged through the mud by perverts who want kids to attend drag shows, and they will suffer greatly from the societal pushback that is inevitable. I also feel bad for the gays/lesbians who are having their sexuality erased by trannies who demand that they also be attracted to the opposite sex, must suck to have everything you fought for be destroyed by your own side! Trannies are doing more damage to gay rights than fundies ever did.
