Reading the news coverage, this is why I feel strongly that we should not refer to them as Transgender Rights Activists (TRA) because it implies that transgender activists are fighting for rights.

Except for housing and job discrimination, and a few other things that no one should be denied, transgender activists are fighting for their DEMANDS, not rights.

This girl had the right to use a bathroom, which was provided for her. She was DEMANDing to use the boys.

If we don't make that clear via our word usage, the vast majority of people who are not clued into this issue will think that it is RIGHTS these men are DEMANDing.

I agree. I also think the word "transgender" is misleading. Most people who are not attuned to what is going on still think the word refers to what used to be termed "transexuals"-- people who are extremely dysphoric and have every intention of living full-time as the opposite sex. They don't know that the term "transgender" has been broadened to the point of meaninglessness to include people who are not dysphoric and who have no interest in transitioning. They do not know know that the movement is no longer about protecting a small minority of people but is now focused on dictating to everyone that all our lives be centered around gender, not sex. The movement is using the prefix "trans" to co-opt sympathy for a group of ideologues who are not at all sympathetic. It is completely misleading. That is why I've decided to refer to them as gender advocates.
