All the groups I mentioned are distinct groups of people some of whose members overlap and some not, so the size of the actual trans community doesn't really matter. I would say it is indeed their misfortune to have been made the subject of tribal disagreements.
But it is also disingenuous to say it's just about a group of people who want to be left alone as in the original comment I responded to.
Your elaboration of the stages as I stated them has some pithy truth in it but really just confirms its accuracy. You can read all you want into how I describe the stages but description is not advocacy. I'm not advocating anything really.

That's true. They want to be treated like everyone else, not discriminated against and berated (cf. pretty much all of this user's posting history[0]), beaten and murdered. Are those the "special rights" you meant?

Mayhap you are and mayhap you ain't. But you certainly did uncritically include bigoted stereotypes and lies/tropes that have been used pretty much forever. I guess I'll have to keep waiting for you to prove me wrong. And more's the pity.
