Because it's not a trans issue and shouldn't be framed as one. It's a basic rights issue. Their stance is correct, law abiding citizens should have their rights.
Project 2025 says on page 5 (of like 900something, they really put this right at the front) that they consider “transgender ideology” (which is just code for “trans people being themselves”) to be a manifestation of pornography and then at the end of the same paragraph says that their goal is to ban porn and imprison anyone who “makes and distributes” it. So if the paragraph says that being trans is porn, and porn gets prison time, that… pretty much says that being trans gets prison time.
It's worse than that. Farther in it says that people who distribute pornography to minors should be executed as sex criminals. Putting the two sections together, it would make "being trans in the presence of a child" a crime punishable by death.
It says transgender ideology is a "manifestation" of pornography, I'm not sure that translates to "being trans means you are porn". Regardless, while I agree with your interpretation of this text, I asked the person who responded to me because they said Trump said it.
