and while I do agree with that, the trans population isn't going away, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube and the world is changing.

I'm not sure I agree with that, though-- yes, paraphilias and autogynephilia will always be around, and yes, there will always be some very feminine men and some very masculine women. But the concept of transgender, itself, may well turn out to be a fad. History is littered with failed movements that no one talks about or remembers anymore because they weren't successful (except for the historians and nerds who talk about them, lol). The lobotomy movement in the early 1900s is one such example. It was widespread and massively impactful on culture at the time, and it's dead today.

edit: But I am all for extending compassion towards trans people and villainizing them. Most trans people seem desperate for support and for their mental health issues to go away, and cult-like ideologies (gender identity ideology, and this case) prey on the desperate.

Some trans activists do want to subsume feminine men and masculine women into transgender. However, I do not see any average person conceiving of the word as such. If I grab a random bloke off the street and say "transgender," they always take that to mean transsexual, because that is what the trans landscape is all about.

No problem with paraphilias, including AGP, but that is something you should try to do in your own time, in the private sphere of your life, with consenting, adult partners. Plenty of people with paraphilias have no problem pulling that off. If AGP, which it sometimes can do, becomes such an impediment to being a functioning person that medical and social transition, under the auspices of an informed clinician, is the correct palliative care, then so be it.
