A) The group of people at odds here - IE, trans people who you do not believe are trans - largely reject your whole project and outlook on the world, and they do not believe that you are helping them. They believe that you are trying to make their lives worse. This remains true no matter how much you write it off as "virulent trans activism".

B) Whatever you may want or desire, it is *inevitable* that in any world that more aggressively polices gender boundaries, intersex people and trans people whose trans identity you accept would face greatly increased discrimination.

C) The social conservatives who are the allies of your movement simply want to eliminate homosexuality and divergence from traditional gender norms, period. To the extent that they have any influence on the outcomes of your political project it would certainly lead to much greater and more severe mistreatment of women, trans people, gay people, and more or less everyone else.

D) I think the thesis that underlies your whole argument - that gender transition is a mechanism for forcing people to be straight and neurotypical - is wrong. There are several things that make me think it's wrong. For one thing, it just is not what it is happening; those are not the facts on the ground. Second, the structure of your argument relies on assuming that you simply know what is best for straight trans men and autistic trans people, that they simply do not know what is best for them and can't sort out their own lives and make their own decisions. And third, on a conceptual level, the idea that gender diversity and questioning of gender is at odds with neurodiversity and sexual diversity doesn't wash. In fact, these things all support each other.
