Who is denying existence? At most what is being denied is a certain definition or the "membership of a group". If we must stick with this tedious trans wank, what is being denied is not that people who are trans exist as human beings, but their claim to self-definition.

If you have never seen arguments that people (overwhelmingly usually targetted at women) should "re-examine their genital preferences", I envy you. I certainly wish I hadn't.

Yes, I've seen that argument. From men and from both cis and trans women. It's awful and despicable either way, and it reeks of entitlement that reminds me of the whole incel thing. But you know, if I would start judging the entire gender group of the person who says it, there would be literally no one left because in every group, there are people who think women somehow owe them sex.

Then call it out when you see it, so that we don't have to, and don't tell us that it's not a real problem.

Sure. Why not broaden it even more? In every group, there are people who think people owe them sex. That's nice and non-gendered now.
