What special rights do transgender people demand, beyond the rights that should accrue to any human?
If you are speaking of the pronouns they may prefer, I think it's polite to use them, but if they get all cranky when some people don't use them, I'd tell them to chill...
What other special rights do you think they demand? (and it should be ones that the vast majority demand, not just a few of the fanatical fringe...)
Like using ladies' toilets before whacking off the penis?

Don't know what you are trying to prove, but it's failing.
Transgender bad--> therefore must stop teens whacking off breasts and penises.
How about when they are 21. Is it OK to whack off your own parts then?
My problems are mainly when they make demands on others. Such as demanding special rights, not their normal rights.
What are their normal rights? Going to toilets with penis matching sign on door? Having sex with someone of a gender that does not match their chromosomes?
What problem do you get from tansgendered people having sex in their house?

Does the bill legislate the use of certain language? And could someone go to jail for using the wrong pronoun?
In the Criminal Code, which does not reference pronouns, Cossman says misusing pronouns alone would not constitute a criminal act.
“The misuse of gender pronouns, without more, cannot rise to the level of a crime,” she says. “It cannot rise to the level of advocating genocide, inciting hatred, hate speech or hate crimes … (it) simply cannot meet the threshold.”
The Canadian Human Rights Act does not mention pronouns either. The act protects certain groups from discrimination.
“Would it cover the accidental misuse of a pronoun? I would say it’s very unlikely,” Cossman says. “Would it cover a situation where an individual repeatedly, consistently refuses to use a person’s chosen pronoun? It might.”
Cunt, what is the correct etiquette for a trans woman in a ladies' room? Are they allowed to pee in the stall standing up? Or do they need to sit down? With the penis option of course.

Children cannot consent to things? They have no free will?
In Hawaii and Kansas the children can marry at 15. Yet they can't have their penis whacked off at 15.

That is correct. Sex decisions are (in the opinion of most people) best left to adults.
When I learned about the ethical freak community, there were very simple rules:
Consenting adults.
Maybe it is more complicated now, with LGBTQanon teachers wanting to have sex conversations behind parents backs. That seems a fringe view though. Important in a democratic environment.

It might help you define what you would mean by 'far-left-extremist' in this area, as it puts a human case study where it can be seen.
So how do YOU define 'far-left-extremist' in gender ideology? Feel free to decline if you don't want to. It is starting to sound like you don't want to answer that.
In gender identity? I don't really know. Maybe my niece in NYC, She's quite far left generally, but we haven't talked specifically about gender identity.
In general, people like Ward Churchill, the Betsy Riot folks, Willem Van Spronsen, and more mainstream but way left in American terms, RFK and Cornel West come to mind
I'll look more closely at Sidhbh Gallagher, but so far I haven't seen any policy positions from her. She does have a book on medical and surgical transition, but I don't know if it has any policy recommendations.
I suggest noting, while you search, the supportive articles and how the language games play in.
Much like yourself, I haven't heard any prominent democrat politician describe a line that is 'too far' for gender ideology. She certainly is, to me. What with yeeting the teets of children (or whatever you call mid-teens victims)
If you can't say what is 'too far', maybe taking in the Cole/Pederson interview and having a human face to the damage, could help clarify. There are other (worse) cases, but I don't know that they are as accessible.
I've already said what is too far: 200 million girls and women are victims of forced genital mutilation, including an estimated half-million in the US, and 100,000 in Canada.
That shapes my perspective on this. I keep in mind that plastic surgeons are miles above the miserable hacks that butcher the poor girls in ability and quality of their facilities, so I don't view it as mutilation. The surgeon is building new genitals, not simply destroying them.
Also, this is an elective instead of a forced procedure, and a citizen's right of self-determination weighs strongly in my consideration.
With that in mind, my main concern would be the level of maturity required to make this decision, and when parental involvement is necessary. While my ideal would be to wait for adulthood, there are clinical factors in gender identity disorders that might make earlier interventions necessary according to what I've read so far.
Note the emphasis on "might." There are differing opinions on that, but reading the clinical information makes it clear that gender dysphoria is a serious diagnosis, and like some other mental illnesses, carries a significantly higher risk of self-harm and/or suicide.
Chloe Cole's case suggests there may be some need for regulation, but her case hasn't been decided and there aren't many cases to provide guidance to regulators, and that leads to my second main concern. Our lawmakers are moving way too fast on way too little evidence to abridge the freedoms of the people they represent, and most of the arguments I've heard are the same emotion-based ones you've made here.
It's not a good case for a big government solution.
I did find a couple of interesting TED Talks that give perspectives on the problem that you won't see in the right-wing Establishment media.

Yes, the court will decide, but I've heard Ms. Cole's concerns, and can consider them as a human would, rather than a court.
When you say 'elective instead of forced', does the ability of children to consent change which it is? When it is a loving mother, how do you call her out for forcing her child, to take measures to...hang on...
In another scene, Jeanette pressured Jazz to dilate her “neovagina” daily, with Jeanette threatening to “wring [Jazz’s] neck” if they didn’t comply. Individuals who have undergone a penile inversion vaginoplasty are typically required to dilate the surgical site for more than two hours a day for up to two years after the procedure and for shorter periods of time for the remainder of their lives. Failure to do so can result in the wound shrinking.
(this is NOT the horrible part of that story)
Oh, and remember, most of these cases will be covered up, if anyone wants them covered up, behind all kinds of privacy law. Meaning you don't know any 'side' of the story that rich media owners don't want to show.
