I agree with your points.

But I have special problems with the pro-coddling reasoning that, as you aptly put it, goes like this:

"What is the damage in playing along with trans, especially when not doing so cause them so much distress?", they may ask.

My question is, why is there so much focus on the psychological distress of the small segment of the population who calls themselves trans?

Why is transpain the only pain that matters to the point where the whole world is expected to bend over backwards to ameliorate it?

Why is transpain made out to be the worst suffering that human beings have ever experienced?

Why is transpain of such paramount importance that huge swathes of the rest of the population - girls & women; lesbians and gays; believers in biology; people who value free speech, and many more - are expected to give up our rights and suck it up in order to try to make people with "gender dysphoria" and sexual fetishes feel better?

More than one in four adults (26%) in the US have a serious, life-limiting disability, and approximately eight percent of children are seriously disabled too. Many disabilities cause huge psychic pain as well as enormous, excruciating physical suffering.

But in the popular culture and press there's no constant hue and cry about the distress and difficulties of being disabled the way there is about the distress and difficulties supposedly experienced by the small segment of the population that, for one reason or the other, would prefer to be the opposite sex - or of no sex.

Talk about double standards. The prioritizing of transpain is the new and penultimate "privilege." People who ID as trans are the new sacred, superior caste we're all supposed to bow down before. Fuck that.

Indeed, it's ridiculous the amount of power they actually have and, in spite of that, it's still not enough for them. I don't know of any other group of people who is catered to this extend, either. They certainly are not the most oppresed group on history as they claim. My only solace is that people are going to eventually get tired of this. It's not happening as fast as I would like, though...

This is exactly why I support LGB to drop the T. Our issues are not the same. They've attached themselves with the LGBs and are actually damaging us, what we stand for and especially our same-sex attraction. I've never seen gay people act the way they do, I've never seen gay people demand, insult, witch hunt and threaten people who were homophobic or who slightly disagreed with us.
