Trump had the right take on this issue, stop it hurting kids and then leave it.
Knowles is right, this is an untenable position.
If transgenderism can be true for adults, then it makes no logical sense why it also isn't true for kids. From there it then follows that not transing the kids is incredibly cruel. Forcing them to grow into 6'2 deep-voiced hulking hairy brutes when they are actually women inside before allowing them to add fake tits as adults, when we can give them blockers and hormones to let them grow to actually resemble women? Transing them earlier would be the compassionate policy.
Trump's policy is the losing one that conservatives have adopted for too long, it is always compromising and accepting the newly ratcheted leftist position from 5 years back, but no further!*
*for now, we promise, but when you ratchet it further, we'll compromise again and insist it stop or at least slow down slightly.
It is illogical. Don't just push for the status quo, push the window back the other way. That's how you actually achieve the compromise position as your worstcase scenatio, and achieve what you want to achieve best case.
The same goes for your women focused stuff. The window needs to be pushed by people articulating it well, and you need to advocate for a position closer to your ideal, rather than what you'd settle for, that's negotiating and politics 101. That doesn't mean you always need to reveal your true power, what it means is don't start from whatever the compromise position is.
Probably acknowledging that transgender propaganda is insane degeneracy, that there are immutable differences between men and women, and that even the best surgeon could never do better than make a superficial veneer in order to poorly emulate a facsimile of the appearance of the other sex on their patients.

what would be the proper revanchist stance?
