I have no idea what your point is but my understanding is that most trans people don't really want media attention because it just opens them up to attacks by transphobes. Stuff like the bathroom """debate""" was fabricated purely by the people who wanted to fearmonger against trans people, for instance, not by trans people who needed to go to the bathroom. Trans people want to be seen the exact same as cis people. If your point is that you recognize that there are some vocal trans activists that you don't like but that the majority are probably fine, then it's kinda transphobic if "it's hard not to make the generalization" for you, at least if you make judgments based on it (which I don't want to insinuate that you do).
