the gays already have so many rights

Transgender is not "the gays." Gay is a label that describes one's characteristic pattern of sexual attraction, which is not chosen; transgender is a label that describes a) one's belief in an ideology of "gender identity" and/or b) one's experience of gender dysphoria, which is not chosen. Those are separate phenomena and I'm sick of people using "gay" as an umbrella term for a million different other things than what it actually means.

edit: and I think many trans rights activists like to invoke and mis-apply the word "gay" because they are aware that some Western populations are much more accepting of same-sex attraction that it is of gender identity ideology... in a word, misappropriation, of the struggles of people who are actually attracted to the same sex.

People still think that most MtFs are HSTS, even though this isn't true anymore. I would say this is a factor that has prevented The Great Peakening (eh) from happening.

You know what? Whoever wrote this whole graphic is just a stone fucking idiot. ALL the little bullet points just suck, are dishonest, have no nuance.
