We're trying to get protection from discrimination and vilification while securing everyone's right to gender affirming care. The Queensland government recently suspended it for minors and a federal review into gender affirming care was announced, in other countries this has lead to an increase in violence and scrutiny of people who just want to live peacefully.
If you've decided anarchy is deranged then I can't convince you of why any of those points are important, but I will say that it's simply that we recognise that our struggles are all bound up together, the intersectional approach is the only right one.
