Have you considered that the issue of healthcare might be big enough to cause bigots to put their hate aside and come together with trans folk despite their disapproval? Why do you see the only way forward being for the marginalized groups to keep quiet?
As somebody else mentioned - what if the issue was abortion - would you say women who want reproductive rights should keep quiet because it just antagonizes the far right Christian base and we don't have time for that - let's get healthcare for them first and then we can have the discussion about abortion?
Nothing is important enough to those people to team up with trans folk and if you don't know that then you haven't been paying attention.
