I see we're rehashing discourse about women & their male partners (despite many men being at Pride). so I'm re-upping "Penises, Privilege, and Feminist & + Purity Politics" – which gets to the root of this antagonism (no paywall): https://juliaserano.medium.com/penises-privilege-and-feminist-lgbtq-purity-politics-bafd1f25fe3e

the idea that sexual orientation is "fixed" from a young age but that gender identity isn't is pure wishcasting. I discuss this in my "Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says" video at the 26 minute mark (watch thru 48 min for full context): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZymYiwoRoC0

"Trans People & Biological Sex: What the Science Says" started as a talk I've given at colleges & conferences, now updated & free for YouTube! addresses virtually all trans-skeptical talking points, as well as intra-community debates about "born this way" & "true trans":

if you're tired of anti-trans activists who don't care nor know anything about biology wielding "biological sex" & "sex not gender" against us, this video addresses all their specious talking points. biology is far more complex than their cheap slogans...

I know most ppl outside trans communities aren't paying much attention to anti-trans bans, but you might want to read about this one – it could lead GOP to make "approval from a bioethicist" a requirement for any healthcare (e.g., reproductive) they do not like:
