Why do you think people should only care about what you care about and not care about the things you don’t care about?
You sound like you come from a position of privilege and have not been treated with the maliciousness and even violence trans people have to deal with on a daily basis.
I suppose asking you to put yourself in their shoes would be too much?
The system I am actually trying to dismantle is what is oppressing these people, not me. I have my sights set on the big targets and find the trans movement to be a divisive distraction. I have sympathy but it’s not really my battle. My battle is one that affects all of us, not just some of us.
You are part of that system if you don’t give them the basic respect of self-identity they are due. If that is not part of your fight, you’re part of the problem.
there’s a very good chance that the same bigots that use the N word are the same enemy as the one that supports the right. JK Rowling is not my enemy though.
I see. Bigotry against black people is to be fought against but bigotry against trans people is acceptable. I wonder what other marginalized groups you think that should just accept the bigotry hurled at them?

I don’t agree with that but you’re entitled to your opinion.
Would you fight against bigots calling black people the N-word or is that also not something you care about? Just wondering where the line is.

probably bronies and furries. that’s all on the same level of absurdity in my opinion.
