I just read a post by @Tattie@eldritch.cafe that I’m copying here, with permission:
If you accept trans people being defined by their reproductive role...
Then men can define all woman by their reproductive role
If you accept that trans teenagers are too young to make decisions about their bodies...
Then men can decide teenage girls are too young to make decisions about their bodies
If you accept medical gatekeeping of trans people's access to hormones...
Then doctors can restrict any woman's access to HRT and birth control
If you accept stripping trans people of legal protections...
Then men can strip women of legal protections
This is the truth of "trans rights are human rights".
Regardless of your personal feelings on whether trans people are "really" the gender they say they are, the exact same human rights protecting us also underlie women's liberation-- bodily autonomy, dignity, equality of opportunity, and protection from harm.
And so many men are desperate for those rights to disappear.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security condemns the anti-trans agenda of the second Trump Administration and warns Americans that the recent spate of executive orders, which are in line with a genocidal process against the transgender community that has been emerging in the United States for over a decade, are meant to pave the way for greater state repression against all individuals and other groups in the future. It is important to consistently and loudly reject this administration’s efforts to isolate any people or groups due to their identities, to reaffirm the USA’s commitment to individual rights and diversity, and to push back against efforts to normalize state repression and violence. The time is now. – Red Flag Alert for the Anti-Trans Agenda of the Trump Administration in the United States, Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention
