progressives: we should give trans people rights
conservatives: we should not
liberals: hmm is there some way we could make everyone happy
progressives: no
trans people: no
conservatives: why not compromise and give trans people less, but not zero, rights
liberals: finally some common sense that makes everyone happy, so much for the tolerant left
