There have however been actual pushes to try to create discorse exactly matching what you said “I’m not against trans people, I just think it’s too easy for kids to permanently modify their bodies for a fad!”

Good way to deal with it is to explain it's not true. Bad way to deal with it is to label people with those opinions as fascists and block them immediately.

Nope. By the time you are done refuting their bullshit they will have spouted ten more lies. The best thing to do is deplatforming.

This only happens when you are dealing with someone who is pushing the agenda or spread certain narrative on purpose. This is always a small minority of people, and there are way more people that simply believe their agenda and not have anyone to explain them it might not be true. It might actually be a tactic to have professional posters who never give up even if proven wrong and thus make you feel like it's pointless to argue.
