I don't think they're arguing in a good faith with you.
"“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Gender-affirming care is good and needed to protect kids.
A lot of people strongly believe this to be true. However, the evidence does not support this.

"destroying and erasing" trans people = not overtly pushing for there spread and acceptance
Assuming you're actually arguing in good faith, the "erasing" bit has been quite obvious and blatant.

Removing people from information about a historical event doesn't look good under any lens.
