This is way too much good faith for extremist hate and exclusion. Do you suggest what, trans people should just fight on their own? It's not just a fight about what bathrooms to use and we are already seeing the signs that after trans, the rest of the alphabet is next.
And they are including race into it more and more because the singular similarity is that it's a group of people that are hated viciously and have their rights and freedoms and saftey threatened for things they cannot control about themselves.
If you really don't understand that, and even as part of the community, think it's just a problem that it confuses people because it's not about love but gender identity (and thus being able to love yourself) then well, I would really like to go live in that world where hate is only because of confusion and understanding. That's definitely a factor but not here.
