You were asking "Why do we need a carve out for one particular group because of their genetic bad luck?". I'm telling you the reason is purely ideological: the right needs scapegoats and trans people are one of the current ones. Doesn't go further than than.

The average person has 0 hate for this group. However, not wanting to bend societal rules for a very small vocal group does not equal hate.

The only issue I see strong arguments here are private facilities [bathrooms] and sports. The hate you see is propaganda on both sides.

Trans people are explicitly on the receiving end of Republican's bigotry. They are constantly targeted through law and rhetoric, stripped of their rights and demonized at every occasions. Exactly like gay people were a few decades ago.

The Left's position on the issue is "let them be" whilst the Right's "they shouldn't exist".
