"Broadly in support of trans people" but also forcing us to use changing rooms and toilets that also often put us in danger and lead many of us to be able to spend less time in public because the minute we need to pee someone is very likely going to yell at us, smack us (usually women) or stalk us to a secondary location (usually men) because people feel empowered to treat us all like perverts and make our safety based decisions of what the path of least resistance a question a matter of technicality...
What the heck does "broadly support" mean in this context? Ambivalence to one's existence, quality of life issues and safety because one doesn't want to bother isn't support.
You said centrists aren't transphobic, and proceeded to list a bunch of transphobic views a centrist may hold. You're kind of proving the point that they are obsessed with culture war BS. They will vote against trans rights if it makes them feel icky.
You listed them as non-transphobic, nuanced points one might hold. My point was just that they are transphobic views. I didn't say it was a view every centrist holds, but one a centrist MAY hold.
A lot of people who would otherwise say they respect trans people, would hold any of the transphobic views you listed and gladly vote against their interests.
