I just used trans as an example. Waset specifically trying to out any groups. I've just seen protest posters for trans, Tesla, freedom, constitution, gay rights, education, and basically everything that the current prick is trying to dismantle.
My point was more that the various posters/images for protest that I have seen, are dividing and could easily put people off depending on which one they have seen.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all in for everyone's rights regardless of their beliefs, feelings, thoughts provided they are also inclusive of everyone. (Ie no Nazi bullshit..)
All of those subjects of protests are symptomatic of the larger issue (wealth inequality/oligarchy)
The protests you're seeing are the proximal issues people are angry with, but they all share a root cause: oligarchy.
It's important because 'oligarchy' is too abstract for most people to have strong feelings about, but a specific oligarch destroying public services that everybody rely on is extremely salient. While it might feel divided from your perspective, it's still very useful for people to recognize the real ways the capital-'P'-Problem is affecting them.
Its still confusing for you to just say the word "trans" what do you mean? Trans rights? Trans people? Trans representation? "People don't like trans" isn't a sentence that makes sense because "trans" is an adjective.
You're fixating on the word. Trans [insert whatever word you want]. My point wasn't specifically about trans folk but the topic and MANY others as a whole. I just used it as a quick example because it's very controversial (for no good reason).
Regardless, just ignore/disregard me. I'm moving on.
No worries
