I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

No, the idea is that being trans in the workplace can lead to discrimination, and I've seen people use the excuse that identifying as trans is political to tell trans people they can't use preferred pronouns or use a preferred restroom or like wear what they want to work.
That's bigotry and bias under the guise of apolitical-ness, no matter what you're looking for.

If so, then yes. I'm not willing to work with anyone who doesn't assume that I'm interacting with them on a good-faith basis by default.
If your only tool for examining the motivations of outsider-groups is bigotry and bias, then all you will find is bigotry and bias.
