    Outside of a few crazy people, no one is coming for trans people. If a
    man wants to put on a dress and wear make-up and pretend he's a woman,
    most people don't give a shit. Likewise for a woman who wants to
    pretend she's a man. There are three things many people are against
    which is not evidence of transphobia. One is an objection to allowing biological males to compete in athletic events set aside for females
    where the male body gives them an overwhelming advantage against the biological females. This is just common sense. Males are simply
    bigger, stronger, and faster than females and those advantages are
    decisive in most sports. Any who denies that is a science denier.

    Objecting to "gender affirming care" is likewise not transphobia. The
    term is a euphemism for medical procedures which have long term and in
    some cases irreversible consequences for those receiving it. Puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical reassignment (aka mutilation)
    can change a child's life forever. Minor children are not mature
    enough to make these life altering decisions and no one should be
    allowed to make the decisions for them. If a person reaches 18 and
    elects to have gender alteration procedures performed, I don't know of
    many people who would object to that.

    Lastly, there is the objection to drag queen shows for small children.
    Just what is the point of exposing young children to such things. It
    is inappropriate to foist them on young children. I would have the
    same objection if someone wanted to expose young children to
    strippers. It's just not age group appropriate. Children will learn
    soon enough about transgender people and it should be left to the
    parents to decide how soon and how to explain it to them. We don't
    need schools putting on these shows. That is nothing more than woke
    virtue signaling and most people are tired of it.

    None of the above practices were part of my life when I was going to
    school nor was it for most of the next five decades. These have been
    recent developments. 20 years ago these would have been rightfully
    considered crazy but now they are being advocated for as if this is
    perfectly appropriate. I know most people don't think this is
    acceptable but many people are cowed into silence for fear of being
    branded transphobic. It's not transphobic. It's just common sense.

    They whined about abortion rights and claimed women were disenfranchised because of a long overdue legal correction.

    Apparently women don't see this transgender shit as infringing on their
    civial rights, human rights, or rights as a woman period. They've been complacent and accepting of this silliness. It's costing them a mile for
    every inch they give up.

    Apparently women really are stupid and deserve to go back into the
    kitchens and bedrooms.
