I said your question speaks to that tribalism issue, not that you are part of a tribe. I'm not personalising this or making assumptions about what you think. You could offer me the same courtesy rather than asserting that I'm "refusing to listen to trans people."
I'm not refusing to listen to anyone, we just disagree. Also, trans people don't all think the same thing. I could just as easily accuse you of not listening to trans people too by treating them as a monolith. I could accuse you of ignoring the minority in a group and siding with the most vocal and prominent side.
How would you respond if someone said you were "refusing to listen to Jews" by not supporting Israeli state crimes? Don't you think that would be a bit ridiculous. Or "hey, Israelis are more affected by this than you so who are you to say what should happen in their country?" In fact, that is something you often do hear from Israel apologists.
They're obviously not the only people affected though, which is the whole issue in the first place. None of what I'm saying is "concern trolling". Again that's just attacking the motive because there's no other argument.
I'm not sure the point you're making about the surgery. I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed surgery. The 1% statistic is refuted as it happens, you can read about that here

How do you feel about the Cass Review? subvert said it's a pile of shit from beginning to end or something to that effect. Even the CEO of Mermaids doesn't say that. She said "there are some real positives within the review."
That's the thing now - there are a bunch of people backtracking and pretending they didn't say what they used to say, because the review has forced them into that position, or in the case of those on the sidelines, because it's now a bit safer to do so.
Again, so much of the general response to this is driven by fear and intimidation. "No one wants to get it in the neck" I think Luka said at some point earlier in the thread.
