Your second two points just aren’t happening at any sort of scale (and your first point is shitty and evil). Most trans people are terrified and carefully plan out the first time they’ll use a restroom - checking with friends if they pass - because, ya know, you can get the shit kicked out of you/killed in many places. Sports is a non issue that affects probably less than a hundred people in the entire country.

We are an excellent target of propaganda. The right wing platforms one or two crazy trans people and than that becomes representative of all trans people. It doesn’t matter what we do, because we are easy to Other.

I agree first point is evil and third should really be a non issue. But you may want to avoid using this strategy:

Your second two points just aren’t happening at any sort of scale

Since you probably want voters to care about trans issues, despite them not having anywhere the scale many other voter issues have. Comes across a bit hypocritical to say we should not care how these points affect a different small group of people.
