I have been friends with a few trans folks in the past, and more than one has suggested that things are going too far. The prevailing opinion I get is they just want to be left alone (after going through what is a traumatic situation), but they keep getting dragged into this culture war crap by a very loud and dangerous minority.

this resonates well with an article in a german liberal newspaper about the fight for a "third sex". While the newspaper was merrily engaging in this culture war by their website, this article (from the actual physical paper) clearly mentioned that this problem (which by the way was akin to changing a single letter from a supposedly too aggressive variant to a "better" one) was only applicable to maybe 300 people in total, because even with a higher prevalence of chromosome defects, most people tend to grow/live happily one way. So we had a 1 year discussion about this problem, which was not a problem at all (just the wording was considered "offensive" by a single individual) occupying our parliament for hours. For me, this seems like a kind of tyranny by the few (since the change in wording doesn't change any of the liberties this one person has...)
