The core difference that separates transgender activism from every other civil rights struggle (racial justice, women's rights, gay rights, etc) is the fact that it is centered around compelled behavior. Every civil rights movement has positioned itself as a fight for basic accommodations and equal status under the law. Transgender activism goes way beyond this, clamoring for a complete and total upheaval of the way human beings perceive reality. This is perfectly illustrated by their demands to codify "misgendering" into the law.

Do women freak out and call the police/lawmakers/social media if they are "missexed"/"misgendered"? No, even though there are millions of women who pass as men.

Do black people freak out and call the police/lawmakers/social media if they are "misracialized"? No, even though there are millions of mixed people who pass as white.

Do gay people freak out and call the police/lawmakers/social media if they are "missexualorientationed"? No, even though there are millions of gay people who pass as straight.

Transgender activism is a struggle against perceptions. They want people to completely ignore what they are seeing with their very own eyes in favor of a collective delusion.
