This kind of reactionary, polarizing stance is driving the strongest and broadest opposition to the trans rights movement. It is both insulting to anyone who believes there could be tradeoffs involved in certain policies favored by trans rights advocates, and wishes to have the potential tradeoffs discussed, and it is crippling to anyone who wants to educate rather than belittle those who express concerns as they are merely wasting their breath on "bigots".

Although this kind of stridency helps unify a community due to a perception of broad existential threat, it is counterproductive for the people whose concerns you wish addressed via democratic processes. Please reconsider your approach.
