Trans right activists have pushed far too strong and too far. Probably as well in a reactionary sense to an extremist right position.

What does this even mean? Why is there a speed limit on giving people equal rights? What did trans people do to make republicans kick them out of bathrooms and legislate away pronouns?

I'm not going to bother continuing to respond to your other points. You're clearly a bigot/transphobic. You think they deserve this.

Regardless of the current topic, every social and cultural development needs a speed limit. Radical change leads to radical currents. Because unchecked socio-cultural development depends on people. It does not involve people, but issues a dictate. And whether this dictate is progressive and positive is a moot point. But oppressive constraints lead to counter-movements.

What did trans people do to make republicans kick them out of bathrooms and legislate away pronouns?

First of all, trans people were assigned a gender at birth.

And what is written on a document, that's what's valid. Accordingly, Republicans are not kicking trans people out of bathrooms, they are maintaining the status quo and enforcing an enforcement of the current norms.

Your point is more that Republicans are standing in the way of trans people making a change in their documents that legally assures them the use of the bathroom they want.

This is unfortunate. I would have liked to further discuss this.
