The right bears a grudge to the modern world in its entirety, and it pours money and energy into something they call ideological realignment. They want to bring about a shift in Zeitgeist that will make basic rights as we understand them in the post-world-wars era, and constitutional democracies as we understand them since the French Revolution obsolete.
Trans rights are not "subculture dramas" or "identity politics" but an application of these rights to people who are non-cisgender. We have the right to live our life in peace, get medical treatment and not getting discriminated against because of who we are. There is a specific type of person who because they are deeply transphobic while not styling themselves as right-wing or fascist, they project their views on the "silent majority", and dare tell us to shut up about democracy because our rights specifically are going "too far" in the democratic direction.
Guess what? There is not a "too far" in the inclusion and participation direction. Only in the opposite direction there is a "too far", and we know what lurks there: Absolute barbarism. In fact trans rights have not been acquired by trans people themselves but with the solidarity of a critical mass of cisgender moderates, who stand in favor of constitutional rights and the rule of law. The transphobic voices were and are extremist, even if they have taken the power.
Mamdani's win should settle this debate forever, as it is a big'ol'fat Fuck-You to the first category of people. The unscrupulus authoritarian who is effectively an alt-right adjacent, and prone to turn Nazi as soon as the political climate is favorable.
Yeah, if my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is too far for them, they're not fighting for anything worth backing.
