Paying for inmates' medication seems fair because they can't go to work to pay for it. The cost must be negligible compared to the total costs of imprisonment.

Normal people don't care about sports or restrooms, doesn't matter who goes where. It's just some cis-Karens and trans-Karens screeching at each other. And isn't Trump banning all mentions of gender anyway, so all sports and restrooms must be unisex from now on?

Your second two points just aren’t happening at any sort of scale (and your first point is shitty and evil). Most trans people are terrified and carefully plan out the first time they’ll use a restroom - checking with friends if they pass - because, ya know, you can get the shit kicked out of you/killed in many places. Sports is a non issue that affects probably less than a hundred people in the entire country.

We are an excellent target of propaganda. The right wing platforms one or two crazy trans people and than that becomes representative of all trans people. It doesn’t matter what we do, because we are easy to Other.

This is all such a strawman argument

“and you have to pay for it when I’m in prison.”

Yeah, isn't it so terrible for checks notes incarcerated people with no income to pay for medical insurance to have access to necessary healthcare..? Seriously though, you know for a fact 'trans people in prison getting healthcare' is not the issue that people have with the trans community, because if it was, the legislation would tackle only this. Instead, the issue seems to be with our very existence, hence the denying trans people exist, hence the branding trans people as pedophiles, etc

“You have to let me play sports against biological girls. You can’t make me play sports against boys - it has to be girls”.

Again, where is the proof? Which untransitioned trans woman has ever actually said this? And, for transitioned trans women, why does the issue of childrens sports teams need to be regulated by the federal government? Consider the following study: "Limited evidence suggests that physical performance of nonathletic trans people who have undergone GAHT for at least 2 years approaches that of cisgender controls. Further controlled longitudinal research is needed in trans athletes and nonathletes."

In my opinion, the question of "trans people in sports" is one for science, not one for politics. For instance, perhaps for sports like running, a trans woman can compete in women's sports after 2 years of gender-affirming hormone therapy ("After 2 years of GAHT, no advantage was observed for physical performance measured by running time or in trans women"). For sports like rowing, you could have it be 4 years ("By 4 years, there was no advantage in sit-ups")

Trans women that demand to use the women’s restrooms before they are effectively transitioned.

I don't think I've ever seen any sort of video evidence that trans women are actually doing this. The trans community gets harrassed so much most untransitioned trans women either go to the mens bathroom or just hold it.

The LGBT+ community has spent its entire political capital on those three issues.

The LGBT+ community has absolutely not focused on these issues, at all. Rather, right-wing think tanks like FOX News keep pushing false narratives down the general public throat, misrepresenting what the LGBT+ community wants (to have hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming surgery on the market, to not be legislated out of existence, to not be discriminated against or hate crimed, etc) into some BS strawman seemingly only constructed to make the trans community look unreasonable, or something.

Please define an effective transition.

Unfortunately trans rights are a hard-sell to the public. And I'm not stating this out of any transphobia or support towards your comment.

A lot of people (especially anybody Gen-X or older) hold transphobic views. It's one of the big reasons why support for the Scottish National Party fell apart.

"and you have to pay for it when I’m in prison."

So? The state is liable for all medical expenses? If someone breaks a leg they also have to fix it. And even if you deem mental problem's differently, other drugs required for a prisoners mental well-being like anti-depressants are also provided.

“You have to let me play sports against biological girls. You can’t make me play sports against boys - it has to be girls”

Would you let a trans boy play in a girls team? Seems rather unfair to me.

Trans women that demand to use the women’s restrooms before they are effectively transitioned.

And? What's the problem with that? And even if a ciswoman walks into a men's bathroom, what's going to happen? The age old tradition of gendered toilets is not some divine ruling that's going to make the rivers bleed if broken. Unless of course you're referring to something else, but you wouldn't do that right?
