It's an opinion that is widespread but if the discussion ever turns that way, they are accused of bigotry. As you have demonstrated.

It doesn't seem a widespread opinion at all. It will die out in 30 odd years or less (in this country). Similar to how homophobia and racism is slowly phasing out when young replaces old. People just don't think this way anymore. It's just a shame the country hasn't grown out of it sooner, because it's comments like the OP which causes very real issues towards the young and the in denial trans people of today.
And that's just the truth of it all. It's bigotry.
