The largest problem the right seems to have with the modern trans agenda is we've moved from simply rights for existing trans people to rights for burgeoning trans youth. no one seems too bothered by the first phase of trans rights, although there were cases of course of people getting upset by bathroom use and such. but the topics of hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery for minors (especially where it conflicts with parental wishes) has cause an uproar even though the rate at which this happens is infinitely small. the same goes for M2F trans athletes, they're exceedingly rare and don't always dominate in sports, but when they do the level of outrage they draw is disproportionate to the damage they cause.
never seemed particularly hard to parse out for me, its a scale
trans people want freedom to do whatever they want in their own private lives -> they already had it and normal people had no problem with it
trans people want state recognition of their gender swaps on documents and stuff -> minor grievance with zero impact and few people bothered to care to oppose it
trans people want to impose their identity on others and demand they be recognized by their pronouns and stuff -> a decent chunk of people don't want to have this shit pushed on them, and start to care when it affects
themtrans people want to participate in sports of the opposite sex, of course by this we exclusively mean men competing in womens sports -> a lot of people recognize this as unfair and wrong and opposes it
trans people want to go into bathrooms of the opposite sex -> fuck no, say most people, we have real problems and don't want you anywhere near our kids
trans people want to mutilate children and subject them to surgery and hormones -> normal people start to debate whether that 'trans genocide' should be a real thing
