They already have! Many times!

Stage 1 of reacting to anti-trans vigilantism: "Terrible! They'll hurt cis people as well as trans people. But then they'll stop, right?"
Stage 2 of reacting to anti-trans vigilantism: "Terrible! They hurt cis people as well, but don't care!"
Stage 3 of reacting to anti-trans vigilantism: "Terrible! The point was just to be able to oppress anyone who doesn't fit arbitrary gender norms!"
Stage 4 of reacting to anti-trans vigilantism: "Terrible! We need to help people move from this state!"
Stage 5 of reacting to anti-trans vigilantism: "Terrible! I don't respect humanity!"

Being forced to conform to social norms under pain of violence is disgusting. The fact people care so much about how other people look is fucking pathetic, and severely reduces the likelihood of me being particularly sad when I am told that, yes, humans have fucked everything up so much that, no, humans aren't going to survive it.

Stop hurting your own children. Stop hurting other living beings. Try experiencing compassion instead. "I don't understand it and I think it's bad" is not a valid reason for hate.
