"Your demands to be fully accepted and to be able to live your truth is infringing on many more peoples beliefs and their ability to live their truths."

You are dead wrong about that.

Trans people living openly and freely in society (as trans people have lived for millenia around the globe in various cultures) infringes on precisely nobody. People who refuse to call trans people by their names or otherwise recognize a trans person's lived gender are simply being aggressive and rude -- not having their rights infringed.

The idea that a transphobic bigot can't live their truths is the purest nonsense. Oppressing and aggressively challenging other people is not living one's truth.

Trans people I know mind their own business. They don't tell others how to live their lives.

Transphobes DO tell others how to live their lives. They rather insist on it. Often in starkly insulting ways.

In comparing the two experiences, you reveal yourself to be (at the same time) weak minded, ignorant, and morally defective.
