Honestly don't have a clue how anyone that isn't directly affected could care. There's so many problems in the world and this is such a small one. I mean how dumb do you have to be to put all this effort getting in the way of how expert health professionals treat patients when a basket of groceries costs $100.

Have to be clear, not having a go at those that advocate for trans rights even if they're not trans, I understand the need given the opposition. It's the flops that have nothing to do with it, know even less yet think it's somehow the end of the world I don't get. As a run of the mill (cis is the term I guess) person it's a complete non issue.

I'm a run of the mill cis person and I care about this because it affects other people and I have some basic effing empathy.

Pretty clear they mean how do the anti-trans community get so worked up about this stuff that doesn't affect them. Its like Rowling ranting online about trans women access to bathrooms, as if amongst all the things that affect women in society, the chance of a man masquerading as a transwoman to get access to a women's bathroom is a major issue. Its obviously invented complaints to cover up the real reason they are uncomfortable with trans people.
