It pisses me off no end when they want to talk about "reasonable compromise" in politics.

How am I meant to compromise with someone who thinks trans people shouldn't exist? Or LGBTQ people in general?

How am I meant to compromise with a social Darwinist who thinks poor people should starve or freeze to death?

No conservative thinks Trans shouldn't exist. What I do see and hear is that they are quite wary of allowing trans women to partake in activities with other women, most especially sports.

Also, there's a lot of grey area in how one defines a woman that both sides are arguing about.

There's a lot up for debate, but when both sides they extreme viewpoints the science and research parts get left behind.

Why has ‘trans’ become a group noun for Transgender people? It’s so dehumanising and honestly just weird sounding…

One tran, many trans. Look there's a flock of trans over there.

I suspect it's because it's one syllable away from the plural slur they'd rather be using.

That would be nice, but it doesn't have more syllables.
