Around 15 years ago, I was working at a domestic violence shelter, and management occasionally brought in speakers for the employees and volunteers. This time they brought in a transwomen to speak, and his rhetoric was pretty much full of the insane rantings that we hear from TRAs today. Even back then, it left me with a very unsettled feeling, and that was my first real interaction with a transwoman. Even the management apologized to us afterwards, I guess they didn't vet him well enough?
So I guess I'm not surprised they're still saying these things, but I am surprised they've been able to gain so much power.

The rhetoric from activists has long been awful. I think COVID and the moving of lots of social interaction to the internet really fueled this recent movement, that and the LGBT activist machine needed a new cause.
Activists I think are the issue, most trans people I've been aquatinted with IRL were often out seeking attention in socially transgressive ways, I think because they were taking out their own inability to accept themselves on society at large, however I've been aquatinted with a couple of people whom I suspect are trans but they are otherwise avoidant of attention and are clearly not activists.
I think it's still a mental illness regardless but there's far less problems socially tolerating someone who wishes simply to be left alone and ignored vs someone who is constantly seeking the social validation of others by transgressing social norms. I think there's an exhibitionist trend in the modern expression here and they get off on negative attention.
