This whole trans rights business reminds me a lot of the evolution/intelligent design debate. One side claim the moral high ground while throwing their "alternative facts" around, drumming up support from people who want to be seen to do the "right" thing...then try to get their screwball viewpoint entrenched in law so that anybody who dares to speak the scientific truth gets shouted down, vilified and possibly prosecuted.
So far, common sense seems to be prevailing in the ID debacle but all this...? This is getting scary.
