Language

I am increasingly of the opinion that our attempts at excessive labeling are not being helpful. People are assigning themselves sub-definitions of their identities under the generic "trans" label which does not necessarily help them determine a course of action as to how they should live.

I used to think that categorization was important but only for the purposes of determining the strength of a person's dysphoria. However in this current environment where people are transitioning when they don't even have it, this effort becomes somewhat meaningless and superfluous.

The term 'trans" becomes whatever you want and indeed can serve as just another synonym for all gender variance as a whole. However, by lumping dysphoric with non-dysphoric people it can confuse some into thinking they need to take a similar path and I have now seen enough detransition videos to realize that many of these people suffered from many things other than gender dysphoria.

Therefore language is fine but it does nothing to spell out a course of action. Calling yourself a "non-binary femme queer" isn't a prescriptive road map; its just a label that might make you feel good about your identity.

The problem is that many people do not put in the proper amount of introspection to determine a solution which works for them long term. In which case, overly sloppy generalized language could just confuse them into thinking that because they belong to  some bigger grouping where others have taken a certain road, it must mean that they should as well.
