Are you talking whole of human population, the US, Canada or what?
Decisions for minorities are ALWAYS based on being a lesser percentage, and decisions for them happen all the time. Or are you going to say that we should turn back decisions for people like the disabled? Different races?
Rather, it's like there are gloves out there with extra fingers that if people who have such things, can buy said gloves. If you don't, then don't buy it. What the hell does it matter to you?
Most, and sometimes they don't. Sometimes as infants those born with extra fingers or toes get them surgically removed (which oh SHIT that's plastic surgery! It's changing the body to make it look different! All the anti-trans crowd best be against things like that! BTW, I've a friend in Omaha whose son has an extra finger; they didn't remove it so he's got an extra. And question, what about people born with tiny tails?)
JFC.
No, it's about respect.
The ones demanding others to conform or bend to them are the anti-trans to those of us who are trans. Just to make THEM feel better.
It's like you demanding - from the example above - a kid born with an extra finger to remove said finger, because it "looks weird". The kid doesn't think so, but you push and push, and others around you join in, to make that kid's life hell, all because he doesn't look like you or isn't your idea of what "normal" should be.
You've no more right to do that, than you do to demand trans people to stop being who they are.
I'm not demanding it; in essence, the people who are anti-trans are pushing for it.
Because they assume that every person is XX or XY, and that's not true. But the only way to prove them right IS to do exactly that.
Meanwhile the ones who they are demanding no longer to exist, don't really give that much of a damn WHAT the chromosomes are. Because gender is more than chromosomes and it shouldn't fucking matter.
Like hell; words to signify gender used to be used for inanimate objects, like ships, ffs.
In English, adjectives don’t agree in gender with the nouns they refer to. But did you know that wasn’t always the case? To learn more, read Sophie Martin’s post on the history of gender in the English language!

And science evolves, changes, all the time. If people can realize that the Earth revolves around the sun, the Earth isn't flat (well most people) and other scientific thoughts, then why suddenly can it not be accepted that science proves that trans people not only exist, but are legitimate.
"If people want to live their lives that way, more power to them" - except in cases where no, not more power to them, rather kill the deviants.
Sex markers and gender are intertwined but not the same thing and no amount of denial won't change that. Unless you, as I pointed out, want to test every human on this rock to prove that XX and XY are the dominant, absolute, markers.
BTW, why did the Olympics stop genetic testing women to prove they were, in deed, women?
For your 'education'.

In the United States, most people are assigned both a biological sex and gender at birth based on their chromosomes and reproductive organs. However, there is an important distinction between biological sex and gender. Biological sex, such as male or female, commonly refers to physical...

"While gender is often conflated with biological sex, a person is not born with gender. Rather, people learn to act in accordance with the socially constructed expectations of their gender as they grow up. Social constructs are ideas that humans originally invented and continue to perpetuate over time rather than being innate roles that exist in nature. People implicitly and explicitly learn how someone of their gender should act as they grow up by the people around them and by popular media. However, those expectations do not always fit with how people act. Gender-specific expectations often come from stereotypes. Stereotypes include widely held beliefs about a certain group of people based on oversimplified or prejudiced ideas. Some stereotypical expectations of men in the US include that they are supposed to be stoic and competitive, large and muscular, and financially provide for their household. In contrast, some common expectations of women in the US include that they are supposed to be polite and nurturing, slim and petite, and are expected to take on domestic work like raising children and running the household to societal standards.
Expectations of men and women can also vary by culture. The culture of the US may expect women to look and act differently than women in Saudi Arabia or Japan, for example. Moreover, different cultures might even recognize a different number of genders. While many cultures see just man or woman, other cultures have three, five, or more genders. Thus, rather than being universal to biological males, females, or intersex people, each human society uniquely determines the genders and gender roles within it.
Early uses of the word gender in reference to men or women tended to view it as one and the same as biological sex. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the word gender had been used as early as the 1300s to describe categories of people. The Oxford English Dictionary’s earliest record of using the word to specifically refer to men or women, though, did not occur until 1474, when someone used it in a letter to describe what the writer refers to as the masculine gender. Over the next centuries, when gender was used to refer to men or women, it was often synonymous with biological sex. However, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, during the early twentieth century, the word sex became more associated with sexual intercourse. As discussions of sexual intercourse are largely taboo in the US, people began to use the word gender in its place to refer to a person’s status as a male or female by the end of the twentieth century, a practice that is still largely common as of 2022. However, in the 1950s, gender psychologists who studied differences between the sexes began to reframe gender as something entirely separate from biological sex."
