The trans movement borrows from many social justice movements. The complaint that they just need to be 'heard' and are 'being shut down' is taken straight from feminism's playbook. I heard the 'women are being silenced' BS so much from the Medium Misandrist Mavens that I wrote an article about how women who can't shut up about how oppressed they feel are always going on about how they aren't 'heard'. Maybe they're just being shut out by people who are tired of hearing the same-old same-old.
There is no group less unheard than the trans movement. In fact, they're way better at feminists at being heard because no one's going to stop a man from saying his piece, whereas women are easier to intimidate. Many women still are unheard, but the ones who are heard the most are the ones who complain the loudest.
It's bullshit that either women or transwomen are not being 'heard'. What they *mean* is that they're not being persuasive.
Their problem is that they want to be seen and believed to be women, or men in the case of trans-men. I can understand that desire, but when it becomes a demand people don't fall in line with what they think is unreasonable. I have a surprising to myself empathy and sympathy for their plight. I've spoken to people still employed in the corporate world, and they have the ear of HR. Misgendering (sic) is reaching a level of a white person using the N-word (escorted out the door with your stuff in a cardboard box). To say that they are not heard is preposterous. It will bring resentment at a level disastrous to their cause.
Gender dysphoria is three times more common in men than women; one in 30,000 men and one in 100,000 women. Yet there has been an enormous surge in young women claiming to be "trans," up 4000% since 2006. I don't believe for a second that this is some environmental factor like earlier breast development (traced to soaring fat content in alleged American food) nor is it more candid reporting.
Said it before, saying it again: no dysphoria, no "trans." The activists call this "medicalizing" what should be a "choice." This infuriates. Well, in real dysphorics the sense of being in the wrong body is so agonizing that some suicide, and if that isn't a medical condition then I don't know what is.

Yep. Or to put it even more bluntly, they're not getting everything they demand.
