The things they (some of them/the activists) are demanding and which I feel are overcorrecting (i.e. go past just equal rights) include demands by legislation to force the pronoun issue; demands for overriding by default the will of parents when deciding healthcare (psychological and physical) of their children; demands of bathroom/dressing room usage and demands of being allowed to participate in sports in the series they identify as instead of in the series their body is. These are not black and white issues and I’m not claiming that they are.
Thing is, demanding merely equal rights for trans people is not quite enough, because some of the things they need/want are things that nobody else needs. So I think it’s not quite honest to say that they just want equal rights. In this way LGB rights are way simpler, because as far as I can tell they just wanted the exact same things as straight people already had.
But I want to reiterate that where trans people et al lack equal rights their fight is 100% legit, without any question.
