Civil rights groups work to help the groups they're for. Harming trans people and immigrants is just a distraction for conservatives, but it still causes real world harm, so people are going to do what they can to help. They can do the wrong thing, which is why i was curious about your opinion. what could this specific group do, to more effectively help trans people? Staying under the radar and using their energy elsewhere? The protest getting media attention at least showed trans people that someone's willing to risk it for them. But it's likely there were better ways to help.

Keeping in mind that this group of people is going to be oriented towards helping trans people, what would have been better? Starting a letter campaign about how legislators should get themselves off the toilet and back to work lowering inflation? Do bathroom sit-ins in Odessa, TX, instead? I really don't have any good ideas, but people will want to do something, and I'd rather their energy accomplish something.
