The “trans” movement is trying to move society to the position that no one should be helping anyone with “gender dysphoria” to get out of it.

The "trans movement" is part of a larger conspiracy to make it impossible to believe in absolutes. Saying "men can give birth" and women can have penises" is the same as Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four being forced to believe that 2+2=5 (or 4 or some other number, or all at the same time). As Theodore Dalrymple put it:

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

Yes. Also true.

But those not understanding that can learn, understand and agree to less comprhensive arguments against it.
