The TRAs then use the arguments that don't make sense. "It's just like being lefthanded and is just more acceptable now" and "trans people are in great danger of genocide right now"

You're lucky you were dealing with one that wasn't fully versed in the dogma.

to the "it's just more acceptable now" argument, I would ask, with as much sincerity as I could muster, how did all those closeted trans people live? I mean, isn't the mantra, "give me hormones & surgeries or I will kill myself"? So, did they all suicide? ... [there's no evidence of such suicides. none.]

Team Reality: please consider not calling them "TRAs", where the R stands for "rights". The transification activists are campaigning for special privileges that actually violate the rights of others. Allowing them to name themselves "rights activists" does not reflect reality.

When you see that idiotic comparison note that the magnitude of increases and note the length of time in which they occur. In other words, just drop lines to X and Y axis at peak and through and see what you get.

It's a deceptive comparison, but I see it made again and again.
