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 them
trans 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
the bathroom debate specifically is mostly hyperbolic fear mongering. being a perv in a bathroom isn't all of a sudden legal if you're trans, same goes for rape/assault/etc.
the rest i have no issues with as its imo accurate more or less. i'd just add that most people didnt care much about trans people demanding their pronouns be used, it only got dicey when Canada passed a law enforcing it and then twitter mobs started to hunt people for misgendering. otherwise in normal life it is and always was a nonissue.
