The "Stonewall position" justified using facts, logic, reason and compassion

This is a serious question. I would love someone to show me a few of the best essays or articles which use facts, logic, reason and compassion to try to justify some or all Stonewall-approved "trans rights" positions.

My GC beliefs come in part from my complete failure to find anything at all convincing to back up Stonewall's position. But, by definition, there must be articles or essays which summarise the key arguments in a way that makes them amongst the best justifications of Stonewall's position. What and where are these articles?

To be clear - I am 99.999% that there is nothing that could make me depart from my GC beliefs, but I am curious to know if there is anything out there which could be seen as somewhat convincing. There must be something out there that is more convincing than #TWAW #bekind? Mustn't there?

Nobody has ever managed to put it across to me in a way that makes sense. I have no issue with the following propositions: some people feel a deep discomfort with their sexed body; some people are more comfortable presenting in an opposite sex or 'neutral' fashion; some people go further and want to change their bodies to match a subjective sense of 'identity', and adopt new names and pronouns (although I don't think anyone can be forced to use them) to match that internal sense of identity.

But other than that, I have no idea.
