Your statement seems to imply you think i disagree with you
You do. You are suggesting that trans people should offer to exclude themselves and give up our rights, because demanding equality is too much.
I am expressing concern about how other peoples actions will cause more negative pushback
Giving up some of our rights, rights that everyone else has, to appease the folk who enjoy those rights, when we are the ones more at risk of violence, and exclusion is not a viable middle ground like you seem to be implying it is.
Your framing of that as “all or nothing” means I very much disagree with you. You may think trans folk deserve rights and dignity, but you don’t believe trans people deserve the same rights as cis people

Cool strawman, but I don’t think that, not even close

I never said to give up on anything. I was making a statement about how different the current situation is from a past situation in which noticeable progress was made on some kind of civil rights. Are you implying that people in the 90s and 00s who fought for gay rights just did stuff to appease their way to marriage equality?

I’m simply pointing out that things seem to have gone beyond a point of no return in terms of 2 sides being able to agree on pretty much anything anymore because one side is composed almost exclusively of narcissists with oppositional defiance disorder, and the other side is so busy in-fighting that they don’t realize they’re alienating their own and not making any progess.
Again, there is no suggestion being made here… everyone should continue fighting as hard as you are able, in whatever ways are accessible to you to forward the cause of trans rights and any other rights you believe in.
