I think a lot of progressive folk confuse the respect that transgender folk deserve as trans with giving way to any demand and any claim of victimhood they have - most blatantly that they have access to all the particular rights of women & anyone who questions this is transphobic
It's that system of diversity that I talk about in my book whereby favoured groups as victim groups deserve unquestioned favour and protection from progressives.
This is a breakdown case however, just like that which arises occasionally (but is generally suppressed) between Islamists and feminists/LGBT activists. The trans activists are intruding on the territory of mainstream feminists by intruding on the territory of women as women.
Some feminists have recognised this and reacted against it strongly, but others - and many other progressives generally - can't really deal with it, not allowing themselves to recognise that different favoured groups can have opposing interests.
