- First of all they make fools out of us so it now takes a lot of courage to even admit that you have this problem, and people will inevitably be disgusted with you for it, and you can't even blame them going by what they know.
But that's only the tip of the iceberg.
The massive influx of transtrenders has the system backed up so far that it now takes like 6 years to get started, while confused children and snowflakes who don't understand what they're doing are taking what you need and will harm them.
Gender theory almost prohibits any discourse or research into treatment, because it insists that gender is a "social construct" and that people who have dysphoria really have "internalized transphobia". It goes as far as to demand celebration and worship of something that kills 41% of its victims. Anyone who voices the slightest bit of disagreement is automatically a "fascist" who is "literally genociding trans people".
Trying to seek treatment or venting about your suffering will only get you canceled for baseless accusations of transphobia. You will be considered an enemy of the party and ruthlessly persecuted.
They're bringing back sexist gender roles repackaged as progressive
They call attention to trans issues so much that everything has to revolve around it. You're constantly reminded of one of the things you're most desperately trying to forget about, and you're expected to celebrate one of the worst parts of your life.
"Trans rights" are really a wedge issue for recruiting gullible people into a political cult, or dare I say religion, and one that promotes one of the most dystopian forms of communism ever conceived. This is obvious to anyone outside of said religion. Due to their efforts it's now nearly impossible to speak of yourself separately from them.
They give bad actors a foolproof way to avoid criticism. Men can compete in women's sports, go in women's restrooms and locker rooms, and demand that people date them just by declaring themselves women, and no one is allowed to question it.
Not only do they stunt legitimate research and access to treatment, but they actively encourage making people trans as if wanting to keep yourself safe every second of your life is somehow superior. Instead of working to find ways to reduce the number of trans babies and treat those who already exist, they want more trans babies who have little chance at a good life. This is just as horrifying as trying to increase the number of people who are born with no legs. But they don't care about people's welfare, they care about molding them into useful cowtools for their political establishment.

Yes, I'd say modern gender theory has elements in common with religion. The good parts.
Yes, I want transgenderism to be as accessible as possible. That is the approach that fits modern understandings of consent, even if it fails in some utilitarian measures.
People as a collective are dumb. Expecting them to understand anything more than two degrees separated from themselves is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Transtrenders might accidentally stumble into a good idea at least.

It's not good to be trans. I understand not wanting to stigmatize it, but we need to remember that it's something very tragic and not something we should be celebrating.

I respect that outlook. I hold a different one, but it's for reasons I know are irrational.

I think both UK and US trans people would be better off if the two countries didn't share a language; you guys should be more like central europe with heavy gatekeeping and specific legal rights, while we should be more like the third world where nothing is regulated and s are just seen as biologically-enhanced crossdressers or at best a third gender. the english-language internet is always crossing the streams and getting people riled up about an alien culture that would be better off left alone.

I thought "transtrender" was a anti-transmetic?

its a truscum term. rightoids think all trans people are equally invalid, though some of them might use truscum language if they think it will help them win an argument.
the black lives matter movement has been responsible for the largest increase in the black homicide rate since leaded gasoline
