I see value in being uncompromising (look at Richard Stallman in Free Software). I also see value in giving a little in the right areas for a net gain.
I don’t think McBride thinks that this is the ultimatum given at the moment (100% vs 50% of trans people die), that would explain why she is willing to compromise.
If she did see it that way, she would probably do the same as you.
Her wanting to compromise at this moment does not mean she would compromise in the worst of moments.

It’s not, but the whole point is erosion of civil rights by generating hate then just swinging for the fences. I was gonna say death by a thousand cuts but it’s not even that anymore.
What does she expect to compromise on? Trans athletes? It doesn’t matter. We’re past that point already. Trans people can’t even get a proper passport anymore.
They want to eliminate trans people, so let’s compromise and only eliminate half. Hooray! We’re civil!
