Obvious objective rant from someone who has no troops in either camp: abuse individual trans people suffer - actual, malicious insults and attacks - is every bit as out of place and unacceptable as "normal" sexual abuse, and anyone guilty of it should be called out and punished for it. That said, a lot of this abuse comes from fear of the unknown - folks who are ignorant of what trans really is or means just spouting off rhetoric. Much of this kind of abuse can be reduced by simply teaching and educating folks on trans matters.
Look at how (generally) accepted the gay community is today - that came from decades of education and integration, dispelling rumors and undue fears. When a similar thing happens with the trans community, people will be more understanding and accepting (...in general, again, there will always be bigots). To give a specific example; gay men, for a long time, were implied to have or outright blamed for having a substantially increased leaning toward pedophilia. This had no basis in truth, and every scientific study done on the topic showed zero correlation. Over time the truth won out, and only hardcore bigots will quote this "fact" to attack gays anymore. Right now, the trans community has a lot of (equally bullshit) rumors and misconceptions floating around. With time and dedication, these will be dispelled - and said community will be one step closer to general acceptance.
What the trans movement doesn't need to do is force the world to change the basic definitions of "man" and "woman". There are biological definitions of man and woman that have existed for thousands of years, with obvious and clear meaning. Fucking that up with a less-than-0.5%-of-population jargon is just a disaster, and it's something none of them seem capable of understanding. Teach us about your issues; come up with terms for it that are descriptive of your issues. But don't take words that already have clear meaning and try to obfuscate them into meaninglessness. That will do you far more harm than good.
This is like the fifth civil rights movement in recent memory, so I'm honestly surprised people are still getting it wrong. Being overly hostile, labeling and degrading the "majority" will never win you brownie points. Throwing childlike temper tantrums over jokes will never win you brownie points. If you want to be accepted, show that you are accepting. If you want to be trusted, show you trust. If you want to be understood, educate and teach those who are ignorant of your lifestyle. If you want to continue being abused and mistreated, keep making mountains out of molehills - raising shitstorms over non-issues and straining relationships instead of improving them.
If your first reaction to a Yahtzee joke that offends you is "oh, fuck you, I'm never watching your video again," it doesn't really say anything good about your moral character or the movement you're trying to represent. If you are seriously interested in bridging the gap, reasoned and logical discussions and explanations will do far more good than temper tantrums and ragequits (and always have, in the end). The rare chaotic spark of a revolution is often wrought with conflict; but resolution and eventual acceptance requires mutual trust and understanding, none of which is gained through pointless conflict.
