> If only that were true. As a political project...

Equal rights for trans folks is a political project, eh? Who's the project manager? :)

> Just look at the frequent threats of violence and death threats that women who speak out against [equal rights for trans folks]

What reaction did you expect to someone advocating against equal rights? To someone advocating for unequal rights for people who are different? To someone fanning the flames of the frequent threats of violence and death threats received by the women who speak out for equal rights for trans folks?

You're familiar with Popper's Paradox of Tolerance? It would be counterproductive to expect folks to tolerate any and all intolerance, and it would be cruel gaslighting to expect the victims of abuse to be tolerant towards their persecutors.
