Why haven’t any of them put this together yet?

Chances are most of them don´t want to even entertain the thought that "our" side might not be 100% wrong. Some live in a bubble where everything trans is good without fault and everyone who doesn´t completely agree with them is a hatefull right-wing-TERF. And some are desperate to stay in that bubble instead of challenging their own beliefs. And of course not all of them spend time browsing trans-critical subs like this one, so the only thing they know about us is what the bigger voices in the trans movement say about us... and I guess you all know what they say.

By packaging themselves as the progressive, open-minded, woke side, TRAs have made it extremely difficult for women (especially young women!) to speak out against them for fear of seeming bigoted. I'm holding out hope that the time will come, though -- our voices are finally starting to be heard by people outside these bubbles. People are peaking every day

TRAs remind me of the Reasonablists cult in Parks and Rec.
