to make the 80% "normies" cringe and avoid. Trans issues preeminent. Not a way to build a mass movement.
As a matter of politeness the Passport Agency should allow people to put their "expressed gender identity" or X on their passports, but I can see the contrary point of view in which the government needs to positively identify people and accurately and credibly identify them to other countries - by the category provided for, sex.
Other than that, no rights of trans adults are being violated. There's no right to serve in the military with a condition requiring extensive medical treatment. There's no right for children to be led into puberty blockers and mastectomies. There's no right of biological males to compete in women's sports.
I understand why trans activists dominate such protests. Of course they can't be excluded and have a right to protest, but if they had sense they would chill out and take a back seat in pursuit of the goal of getting rid of Trump. Unfortunately, their need for others to "affirm" their own view of themselves is such a part of who they are that they would throw the First Amendment, women's sports, and the lives of children out the window. They already threw the 2024 election out the window. I sympathize with them, but it's a delusion.
