If you have so poor an expectation for rights why make an exception for trans people? Why should you care at all?

because i think promoting the idea that expansion of legal protections to trans people is the bridge too far and that rights advocates will have thus brought backlash upon themselves is inherently transphobic and analogous to victim-blaming

There is no equivalent law for non-trans people that curtails freedom of speech in this manner. It is not an extension. You think little of civil rights but are happy to moralise when fighting this particular corner

but there are such laws, lots of them

Name some

literal any anti-discrimination, anti-harassment etc laws and regulations I have no idea where to start honestly

So racial epithets and laws against sexual harassment are the equivalent of accidentally misgendering someone?

no but the fact that this is where your line of thought goes first kind of exposes your true motivations lol
