A group that represents ~1% of people is demanding representation commensurate with the rest of the human population.
In a for profit environment.
Perhaps they need to readjust their expectations?

They're asking that if Netflix has to show content that actively makes fun of or discriminates against trans-people, that Netflix will at least balance it out with positive representation.
Marriage and social definitions aside (those are fair enough), the trans community has some incredibly anti-scientific perspectives pertaining to the biological fundamentals of a sexually reproducing species.
There are two (and only two) sexes, that's been the case for aeons.
What they're asking for is equivalent to "teaching the controversy"; they're no better in this regard than creationists.
Gender, on the other hand, refers to the social construct of how we see the relationship between these sexes in society. Transgender people are those who identify as a gender that doesn't specifically match their sex. There's no re-writing of science here, just an acceptance that a significant chunk of the population (yes, ~1% of the population is significant) want to live as a different gender than the one they're assigned at birth.
I hope that cleared it up.
