Looks like a tetrahedron to me.

Yeah, that's the "put down and exclude" part. The thing is, though, is that the transphobes don't believe it's because they want to ruin trans folks' lives. In fact, they believe they're doing the Right Thing™. Pressuring people to stay closeted is something they're definitely attempting to do, but they genuinely believe it's for everyone's benefit, even the trans folks (again, this is irrational). They don't take pleasure from the pain and discomfort they cause (at least not consciously), they take pleasure from feeling righteous.
No. They should be considering this, given that plenty of trans men look like large and intimidating men (because they are), and they'll be forced to use womens' restrooms if the TERFs had their way.
Ultimately, the restroom issue is only superficial. TERFs (and other bigots) will pick issues like this, but they don't actually care about the issues they're yelling about. What they really care about is keeping their privilege and their sense of superiority. And that requires having a "them" group to put down and exclude, to clutch their pearls around.
So when you see irrational takes like the restroom thing, remember that it's irrational because it's not actually important to them (though they themselves likely don't realize that).
I don't know that it was ever as much like that--I think the earlier adopters of those technologies were more like that, and as the general public gained interest and increased usage, the trend swung the other way. Remember in 2005 when owning a mac device basically initiated you into a cult? Apple stores were set up like sanctuaries where people came to worship.
Trace Bundy is a fingerstyle guitarist, one of my favorites. Check out Joy and Sorrow or Hot Capo Stew as examples.
The Album Leaf might also fit the bill. Technically it's not all instrumental, but only some of the songs have voice and some of those only have a little. The styles vary a bit between songs too (LaValle works with different artists for different songs). Check out Streamside or Thule as examples.
Printers are a given, I figure.

+1 for Clone High. I still quote it regularly.

Ah, your emotional support tabs. Carry on.
