This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.
Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.
Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.
When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.
Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.
The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.

"At the Paris Olympics, the world has seen what happens when you put the safety of women in the hands of fools who say it’s impossible to know what a woman is."
@anyabike 6 women's weight classes, around 130 female boxers and two males with DSDs fighting it out for medals.
130 females manage 4 golds, 22 medals - about 3% success rate for gold
2 males with DSDs manage 2 golds - 100% success rate.
It's a mystery, is what it is, is what it is. /s
The woman in this fight never stood a chance. Shame on the @BBCSport commentators for pretending this is a fair fight. I am disgusted at the @iocmedia for allowing this travesty. #XX#SaveWomensSport
According to IOC President Thomas Bach, “it’s scientifically not true any more” that #XX is female and XY is male.
That statement alone is enough to know that the IOC has zero credibility when it comes to upholding the integrity of women’s sporting events
A male won gold in women’s boxing today, in case you were wondering how far this insanity is going to go #XX
When will it be enough? When will you speak out in defense of women?
Another day. Another brave female boxer facing a man in a fight. Robbed of her chance of a gold medal. Shame on the IOC #OlympicGames@iocmedia
We see your #XX Esra Yildiz Kahraman 💪🔥
#IOCHatesWomen
RETWEET! The IOC has failed women.
A male boxer is now the female Olympic champion.
Imane Khelif beats Yang Liu.
Male power smashes female talent
