So, I'm questioning my gender (probably MtF) and I see a lot of male issues are impacting transgender people.
Transwomen are accused of being perverted male who wants to invade female spaces.
And transmen are accused to be traitors of women around the world, lost sisters etc...
I see this as internalized misandry turning to transphobia by TERFs, and others.
But, I'm curious to know what's your views of transgender people as male advocate.

Considering the way trans men are excluded from conversations, and just treated like "uwu softboys" by so many... Yeah I honestly would buy MRA's being better on the issue.
Liberal feminists like to claim they hate all men but won't include trans men, showing that they refuse to acknowledge the identities of trans men while embracing trans women as "one of us." As soon as a trans man passes and goes stealth, starts presenting fully masc, etc they pretend they don't exist lol.
Meanwhile radical feminists openly disregard it, saying trans men are just confused little girls.
If someone isn't a feminist and supports trans rights I can at least expect that person to treat people fairly regardless of which "way" they're trans.

Controversial and divisive subject. I see it as a mental illness, those who go through it are suffering. I do not believe you can change you gender and I will not be supporting a lie. I am not alone in this.
And the fact that some of them are trying to teach this to young children, well that's just pure evil. NGOs and government should not override parents.

If it helps the issue at all, there's trans people that don't entirely disagree with you.
Theres trans folks that regard it as a disorder and see transition as treatment to lessen the symptoms (though usually they don't see it as mental illness. There's developing theories based around brain sex that suggest incorrect hormone release in the womb results in a disparity between the brain and the body).
They also are generally opposed to anyone under age of majority being able to make the choice to undergo anything medical.
The problem is that these trans people are suppressed and treated as pariahs in their own community now. People that wanna be an agender they/them and have no medical or mental condition have pushed people that have any logical or grounded perspectives out.
I'm not trying to change your mind or anything! Just kinda trying to convey that you're not entirely off base from what a lot of the more reasonable folks believe.

I know that not all trans support indoctrination of children, that's why I said some. It is the crazy activists that are running the show. In England it's Nancy Kelly (CEO of Stonewall), that is trying pushing it fervently on Children. She's a mother of a transwoman. Most of those who are pushing it on kids are feminists and mainly women.
I really do feel they are suffering and feel some compassion towards many of them, but it does not mean I will accommodate what I believe ultimately is a lie that harms children and adults alike.

I fully support trans people. They need to keep pushing for their rights, particularly in sports. Don't let the feminists keep you out of participating in sports. Fuck those TERFs. Demand your rights be respected!
