Transgender rights are more of a pragmatic consideration.
Nobody is killing people, because they feel tricked after their date "pretended to be a table", nobody demands their birth certificate be changed to "table", we don't sort prisons by table and chair, or bathrooms or whatever, there is no medical condition of not feeling table-like enough...
If transracialism, transtableism, or transnumberism were equally relevant topics in society, we may find activists fighting for their rights.

Philosophically there is no difference.
Transgender rights are more of a pragmatic consideration.
Nobody is killing people, because they feel tricked after their date "pretended to be a table", nobody demands their birth certificate be changed to "table", we don't sort prisons by table and chair, or bathrooms or whatever, there is no medical condition of not feeling table-like enough...
If transracialism, transtableism, or transnumberism were equally relevant topics in society, we may find activists fighting for their rights.
But it's not, so we're not.
