Problem: the face of the modern day train movement is a failure in both messaging and substance. Most people can't relate to trains at all and their political platform makes no sense to them. Their most prominent figures are inscrutable, to say the least.
However, even those of us with slight chud leanings are aware there are trains who just want to lead their lives without being a nuisance to the general public, who won't put you in a headlock for misgendering them, and are currently the victims of political crossfire.
Plan of action: trains need an engaging, non sexual, NON POLITICAL tv series where they're interacting with normal people much like the makeover show Queer Eye For the Straight Guy, which—along with the sitcom Will & Grace—was a groundbreaking show for its time. Homosexual men have intuitively understood what kind of media presence would gain them mainstream acceptance: be nonpolitical, be attractive, be non threatening, be funny.
Why haven't transpeople pursued the same?
Trains need a popular normie show where they don't browbeat people about gender ideology. Where they don't bring up the issues of bathrooms, sports, or children. Where they don't cry about transphobia. And OF VITAL IMPORTANCE: where they cast only non threatening, charismatic, and attractive trains.
Just pulling these examples from the top of transtimelines, they need to cast trains that look like this:

Or this:

Or this:
Gather attractive and entertaining trains, preferably with a good sense of humor, and make a show where they help regular men and women with different struggles. Put their competence, helpfulness, and amicability on display. It's important to show them displaying skills and helping people normies can identify with.
What sort of struggles could trains help with specifically? Not quite sure, but It might be something like helping normies blend into an unfamiliar situation or territory. Here's a transman giving other transmen advice on how to fit into a male dominated workplace…such advice could easily be given to a struggling spergy or effeminate man as well:

Remember, the vital thing is to remove all politics and sexuality from such a show. Most people associate transpeople as being gratingly political (or perverted) because this is the essence of their main, and probably only interactions with trains online.

It failed because men can't be women and vice versa. The other reasons (unreasonable activists, bad optics) and individual issues (sports, bathrooms, pronouns) are all downstream from it.
At the very least, a political movement needs some sort of anchor point with reality or people will never truly get behind you. Postmodernism is fake and straight; people actually do value 'Truth' for its own sake and you can't get around it.

But that's just objectively wrong though?

How so? Other than trying to redefine the words for man and woman to accommodate the desires of a tiny minority?

There are lots of females functioning as men in society, and being recognized as men by everyone else, even the biggest chuds. See your own post lol

That doesn't make them men or women, just good larpers. Camels that do the work of horses aren't horses, no matter how much the camel lobby prefers otherwise.
This is why the trans lobby is insufferable, trying to dictate the terms for the vast majority of people.
I don't want to see
s that are just trying to quietly lead their lives get executed tho.

Yea, and no one considers them horses.
I'm not dictating any terms. This is just literally how these words are used and thus what they mean. R*ghtoids are just in denial about it

What is a woman?

It's a w*man if people go "yep, that's a woman", which doesn't include chromosomes or whatever at all.

I mostly agree with this. Just accepting they are not men/women and agreeing with a different designation, like a third social category, would probably be an acceptable compromise for most people. But the trains don't seem to budge because their mental health depends on it.

Agreed. A lot of TRA's talking points are basically trying to convince normal people that the sky is green and their eyes are lying to them when they say no it is actually blue. Or they just use the most obvious motte and bailey arguments that many people do not buy.
