Because trans acceptance is inherently difficult, moreso than gay acceptance as pointed out by the previous post. You could have an entire relationship with someone and never know anything about their partner or love life because those are inherently personal things - I'm sure I've had coworkers I never knew were gay, because there's no reason for it to ever come up. Gender is so outwardly present and well-defined that getting an entire society to look the other way on it is an extremely uphill battle because it factors into every aspect of culture - not just love, partnerships, sex and other personal closed-door matters but things as basic as language are now up for debate. It's one thing to redefine what marriage means to a culture, but now they're trying to redefine marriage, language, sports, workplace standards, childhood... all at once. This is what makes it so ridiculously over-the-top, and how it becomes very obvious that the issue is forced.Yeah, I've been trying to find a way to articulate this idea, but this is getting to the core of it. Trans people need validating and belonging from other communities as a core premise of their "rights". If you think about a neutral rights framework, it would state non-discriminations in cases where there's not compelling societal interest (ie women's sports), and formal equality before the law. Troons are not asking for that. They aren't asking to remove the barrier to men entering women's sports, or desegregation of all sex segregated areas in society, they are specifically demanding that everyone else accept their self-definition of their identity, and treat them according to that.
