In a world which believes trans people are mentally ill and there is still no national protection against discrimination for LGBT people it’s hard to hear someone say “let’s get rid of these labels” and not hear “I’d rather you just not exist”. It’s difficult to argue against labels when society is still debating whether the people who own some labels are actually deserving of basic human rights. And it’s especially difficult to argue against them if you’re from a community with the privilege of never having had to fight for your right to exist in the same way.
