> I could be wrong, but I think there's a specific violent threat embedded in calling trans people nazis

There is not now and likely never will be a politician who has not at some point compared their adversaries to Nazis. Do we put them all behind bars, or only the ones you disagree with?

What do we do with the trans activist comparing those who oppose them with Nazis?

There's really no need for a deep ideological discussion on the topic of Nazis. In modern times, the phrase "everyone I don't like it is a Nazi" sums up the definition.
