I think a lot of people just don't like self righteous, pompous *******s telling them what to think and say. And trans right activists seem to fit this characterization a lot, and I think a lot of the pushback comes just from this.
I am not going to claim I have had a lot of intimate relationships with any trans people. I haven't, although I have had superficial relationships and have been able to navigate those without any issue at all. But that doesn't mean I am going to be ok with some pompous activist telling me what I am allowed to think or say, and telling me I am a bigot if I disagree.
