There was a time, back when they called themselves transvestites, where they didn't have the option of making those demands of people in the first place. They were basically treated like exceptionally odd crossdressers. That whole cognitive imperalism started with "gender dysphoria" entering common knowledge, and the associated idea that pronoun games were necessary to their health, which was during the transition from "transsexual" to "transgender." We're now a couple stages past that.

You could write an entire book just outlining the history and taxonomy of tranny shit. Somebody probably should. I don't know that anyone, anywhere, has properly documented how gender dysphoria silently slipped back out of trans ideology, and that's probably the most important thing that's happened since it originally entered the ideology.
