The approach of gender criticals is to state that the existence of transgender people represents an imposition on their own rights (the rights of women in particular) which is completely disingenuous.
The reality is that they are deeply perturbed by the idea of allowing other people to live freely because underneath they have own personal issues to contend with. Thus for them it becomes a zero sum game.
My life experience has taught me that people who are well adjusted don't have any problems with the way others live.
By using terms like "transgender ideology" which implies choice, the criticals paint transgender people as deliberate usurpers of society. They say we are undermining the governing rules for nefarious purposes rather than to uphold their own authenticity.
I have always been fascinated by the psychology of people who are racist, homophobic or transphobic because understanding them sheds a light on the darker recesses of the human condition.
Fear breeding intolerance is a universal tenet of humanity; one which regrettably we seem destined not to completely escape.
Thank goodness then for the many people I know who save my faith in humanity.
