Sure, ideally the way it impacts trans people should be enough. But anything that affects more people negatively is a worse thing.

If I wanted to influence car safety policy, and I can pick from two examples to make my case:

  1. a car accident kills the person driving it
  2. a car accident kills everyone inside it and some bystanders

I'd be a fool not to use 2 as an example.
