"I did think however that the trans community would have some general respect that other communities may, no matter how quietly they go about it, have some claims of their own to make."

Wishful thinking when it comes to trans activism unfortunately. As you say, nobody's needs come before the activists'. It's the purest expression of narcissism I've ever known.

I desperately want more reasonable trans people to speak up. I know they're out there. I see them on Twitter from time to time, and even chat to them in my comments sometimes. And in person I'v never met a trans peon even a tenth as unreasonable as many are online. But they're terrified of the backlash if they pspeak up. And I've seen first hadn't how nasty it can be.

Yes, and to see these narcissists capturing institutions like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU is just scary.
